Letter to James Cossar Ewart from J.B Robertson, 15 January 1916
Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/22/12
Scope and Contents
Robertson comments on Ewart's paper on the development of the horse, particularly on the 'three-toed phase' in early embryonic life. He wonders whether there is any appreciable difference between the embryo of an Arab or thoroughbred mare and a Shire. He imagines that the three-toed stage would persist for two or three days or longer in the case of heavy, coarse breeds.
