prevent any misconception (as to examinations) in the minds of 
any young men who may be about to enter the veterinary profes¬

Bell's Life in London. 
Cloven-hoofed Horse. 
This very singular animal is but little known : it is an inhabitant 
of South America, frequenting the steep and rocky mountains of the 
Andes or Cordilleras. In its disposition it is vicious, wild, and 
indocile. It is described by Molina to have the size, colour, and

smaller ears, wanting the dusky cross which is always to be ob¬ 
served on the shoulders of the ass, and having its hoofs cloven.
