Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remains of Domestic Animals Discovered Among Post-Pleiocene Fossils in South Carolina Under the above head you published, a short time since, a notice of the fossil remains discovered in the marl-beds of Ashley River, and included a short extract from a paper written by the distinguished anatomist, Professor Leidy of Philadelphia. Your notice seems to have attracted general attention, but I regret to find by the letter you kindly sent me, that one of your correspondents is afraid the article in question may cause some misapprehension of the views of Professor Liedy in regard to the origin of the recent or existing species of the horse in North America. I have read with care the letter of your Philadelphia correspondent, and for reasons that will hereafter appear, I must, beg permission to reply to it. Why should he infer from your article on the fossil remains of the horse, or from the extract from Professor Leidy's paper, that allusion was made to the recent horse? The opinion of Professor Leidy in regard to the origin of our domestic horse, is not alluded to; your remarks are confined to the fossil remains of this animal, and not a word is said about recent species, or those now in existence, The caption of the article must have excited the apprehension expressed by the writer, and as this heading may have been suggested by my note to you, inclosing the extract, I feel myself responsible for it.
