CHAPTER 1.V .-- EVOLUTION, 1870-1882.
LETTER 235.

TO J.JENNER WEIR.

Down, March 17th [1870].
It is my decided opinion that you ought to send an account to some scientific society, and I think to the Royal Society.

(235/1.

Mr.Jenner Weir's case is given in "Animals and Plants," Edition II., Volume I., page 435, and does not appear to have been published elsewhere.
The facts are briefly that a horse, the offspring of a mare of Lord Mostyn's, which had previously borne a foal by a quagga, showed a number of quagga-like characters, such as stripes, low-growing mane, and elongated hoofs.
