HORSE HISTORY QUEST.
American Museum After Lost Link In
Evolution of Equine Family.

american Museum After Lost Link In
Evolution Of Equine Family.
Determined efforts TO find the missing
link in the evolution OF the horse are
being made by an expedition from the
American Museum of Natural History,
which recently arrived In South Da.
kota, says the New York Herald. The
filling ont Of that gap would be an
achievement In paleontology which
would be regarded as triumph for
any scientific institution, and there Is
much activity among museums and
universities in the search for perfect
to complete the chain.
There have been found on this con-
tinent Il few small bones and teeth of
this primitive horse which has been
called the parahippus. but no speci-
mems sufficiently perfect to establish
the type have yet been unearthed Its
place In the scale of evolution is be-
tween the mesohippus aud the proto-
hippus.
Through the efforts of Professor Hen
ry Fairfield Osborn and other well
known scientists have been traced the
various steps. If parahlppus be
found there will still be few types
missing, but the discovery of this an.
cestor will be sufficient to demonstrate
an interesting and important theory of
evolution.
Mr.. Albert Thomson Is In charge OF
the field party, and three assistants
have been assigned to aid him. The
country to be explored is southeast of
the Black Hills and has many outcrop-
pings of the lower miocene period. The
explorers will devote at least four
months to their task. The museum
authorities wish to complete the col
lection Of evidence as rapidly as posi-
BILE. Such pioneers in that branch of
study as Professors Cope, Marsh and
Osborn have attracted the notice of
the scientific world by. their achieve
ments in tracing the horse from the
primitive type, the eohlppus, a foxlike
animal eleven inches in height, to the
present thoroughbred The search is
of especial interest In the United
States, as everything indicates that the
horse originated in North America and
that all of his kind in the old world
are descendants of the steeds which
went there over the land where now
