wyoming Discovery May Prove H0rsc
In America.

! AT last the chain of euuine eyolut;,,
Is complete. says the New York He.
aiu. After years of search and ia. !
when all hope of success had been
abandoned the American Museum o.
natural History. New York. has been
rewarded by the discovery of remains
OF the mountain horse" or oruh;pi,u,.
1his discovery IFS in The las; sap il
the record which science has long ell
deavored to make perfect.
The museum began its explorations
In 1901 under the direction of Profess
or Henry F. Osborn, curator Of the de-
partment Of vertebrate paleontology.
With a trip to the Big Horn basin of
northern Wyoming. The locality around
Fort Bridger, Wyo., was carefully
searched for fossils. but particularly
for the mountain horse" fragments Of
which had been found and named by
Professor Marsh in 1872. but in spite
OF the most indefatigable efforts the
orohippus eluded the searchers. 1t had
begun to look as though the attempt to
locate its skeleton would have to be
given up as hopeless, when on the very
last day Of the final expedition Of 1905.
just when the party was about to re-
turn. the long looked for remains were
unearthed. These consisted Of the skull,
backbone. limbs and other parts Of the
skeleton In the very state wanted.
1t will be some time before the mu-
scum has ready its exhibit showing
every stage of horse evolution, begin
ming when the ancestors of the horse of
today was about the size of an Irish
terrier. The museum has already clas-
sifed the fossils Of the horse previous
~ found in various localities in the
western part Of the United States and
Will thus be able now to place before
the public a complete ocular record Of
equine evolution from the early days of
the eocene period. estimated at 3.OOO,-
OO years ago. down to the present
time.
b museums latest discovery is of
the greatest Importance not only be-
II it will make these records more
complete. but also because it may lead
to the verification Of the theory that the
horse originated In this country.
