Abstract
PROF. WILSON thinks the “bay” filly which Lord Morton says he obtained by crossing a chestnut mare with a quagga was not a hybrid, because he assumes that a chestnut does not contain a bay colour, and that the off-spring of a white-legged quagga and a chestnut mare would not be likely to have black “points.” Prof. Wilson also thinks “that the dun colour in horses is not a reversion,” and that the primitive horse was not, as Darwin and others believed, “dun and striped.”
