ORIGIN OF THE HORSE.
The Modern Animal . Gross 1stusssr
Two Ancient Breeds.


Tho Modern Animal q Cross Between
Two Ancient Breeds.
In Wissen fur ALE Professor KoeniE
discusses 10 some detail the origin Of
the horse Of today. lie Ends that the
horse Of neolithic times was not spe-
eihcally distinct from the horse Of the
present. While there IN no doubt that
the horse Of that period was used By
man for food, there seems 20 be no con
elusive evidence as TO whether II was
domesticated or not. His own opinion,
however, Is that II was probably do
mesticated
The horse OF that time was closely
allied to the tarpan or semiwiId horse
that Lived IA southern Russia 40 TO a
century ago This was hog named
short legged, large headed beast. II
seems probable that the domesticated
horses Of the Germans Of Caesars time
were derived from this breed.
The Egyptians bad horses as early
IS 1900 3 G. These were long named,
more IKE ths Arab horses, and came
FROM Assyrin. Where the Assyfiaas
sbta unss thsE IN snknOwp. but n was
probably frsn sogtherR Asls. where
this long named breed has been dsysi-
9ped IL all probability ss the result Of
long continued domestiostion. The
nodera horse r. q CROSS between these
two breeds. with a further mixturs 81
tie Arab horse. This Arab horse, too,
was Itself descendant Of the earlier
long NAMED horse.
The origin Of the long named horse r.
matter OF doubt. but Professor Koe-
Gig thinks IL may have been from an
extinct TndisR species.
