Fire Spot. The broad facts in the history of living things upon the earth are, then, in accordance with the theory of Evolution. The chain of types is indeed a broken one, the gaps being many, and some of them wide. But this is readily to be understood from the comparative scarcity of fossils, and the imperfection of the geological record. In certain particular instances, however, very complete series of fossil forms have been discovered, connecting, by small gradations, modern animals with greatly different extinct types. One of the most complete of such series has been discovered for the horse. The changes that have occurred in the evolution of this animal have been mainly in three directions--increase in size, reduction in the number of toes from the original five to the final one, and deepening of the crowns of the teeth, so as to render them capable of longer wear. From the Eohippus of early tertiary times, an animal of about the size of a fox terrier, with five toes behind, and four with the vestige of the fifth in front, there is a complete connecting series reaching up to the modern horse, with its single remaining toe and the vestiges of two others. A few of the main links in this chain are illustrated in Fig. 3. It is impossible to regard such a series without having the idea of Evolution strongly suggested to the mind.
