Postcard to James Cossar Ewart from Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell, 11 March 1902

 Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/8/16
Scope and Contents

Cockerell passes on a reference to an account of a bronze bell handle found on the Pacific coast of North America in the 16th and 17th centuries. He wonders whether the Spaniards might have been able to bring over any Asiatic horses on these occasions. He suggests that Ewart might like to publish the characters (both external and osteological) of the leading breeds of horses in England, as he believes there is a lack of published zoological descriptions of these breeds.
