Fig. 3. A 42-inch ICELAND PONY, UDGANGER TYPE.
Fig. 4.—Skeleton of a 33-inch Shetland pony (Highland Chieftain) in the American Museum of Natural History, New York. Though the front cannon-bone is 1·5 inches shorter than in the three-toed Miocene horse Protohippus, it has only been dwarfed about one-quarter of an inch. From a photograph lent by Prof. H. Fairfield Osborn.
Fig. 5.—Skeleton of Persimmon, a 66-inch race-horse belonging to the late King Edward VII. The bones of the limbs of Persimmon bear practically the same relation to each other and to the trunk as in Highland Chieftain, but in Persimmon the skull is relatively shorter and the withers are relatively higher.
