Abstract
A COMPLETE skeleton of a horse was recently found during excavations at Bishop's Stort-ford. As this skeleton lay in an extended position some six feet below the surface in a deposit which had apparently never previously been disturbed by man, it is conceivable that to belongs to a wild variety which inhabited England in prehistoric times. The Rev. Dr. Irving first thought the skeleton might belong to Hipparion (Standard, May 24), but he eventually came to the conclusion that it is the remains of a horse of the Neolithic or Bronze age.
