Abstract
IN NATURE of August 21 (p. 489) reference is made to a popular article by Mr. C. W. Bishop on “The Chinese Horse” and to the distribution of the artistic motive of the flying gallop dealt with in it. It may be of interest to remark that this problem was first studied and discussed by the famous French archæologist S. Reinach in his “La représentation du galop dans l'art ancien et moderne” (Paris, 1901), and was afterwards expanded by me in my book, “Chinese Pottery of the Han Dynasty” (Leyden, 1909), where also many illustrations of the motive from Chinese art-works are given.
