Abstract
THE above is the somewhat long title of a large and important work issuing from the well-known Cambridge (U.S.) University Press. Long as is the title, the name of the principal contributor to the volume is left unrecorded there, though indeed even a cursory glance over its contents shows how much indebted is the whole question of the mode of motion in the horse to the elaborate series of investigations of Mr. J. Muybridge.
The Horse in Motion as shown by Instantaneous Photography; with a Study on Animal Mechanics, founded on Anatomy and the Revelations of the Camera, in which is demonstrated the Theory of Quadrupedal Locomotion.
By J. D. B. Stillman Executed and Published under the Auspices of Leland Stanford. (London: Trübner and Co., 1882.)
