Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Henry Fairfield Osborn stating that the pony has arrived safely in New York. He will have the animal photographed for him soon. He mentions not having read the papers by Johann Gregor Mendel and William Bateson. He announces that he will be writing to the Duke of Bedford to say that he would be interested in receiving the skeleton of one of his Russian horses if one should die. He also states that James W Gidley is revising the species of their miocene, and he critisizes Othniel Charles Marsh's phylogeny.
