EVOLUTION 'Development of Horse is Traced by Glasgow Professor Glasgow, April 19.--In the sec- ond of his series of lectures on Evo- lution, in the Department of Zool- ogy, Glasgow University, recently, Professor J. Graham Kerr dealt ' with evidences of evolution obtain- ed from the fossilized remains of . animals in rocks. While the geological record had disabilities, he said, it had already disclosed masses of evidence which afford convincing demonstration of the fact of evolution. Professor Graham Kerr recalled the fact that in the study of em- bryology one could actually see the 4ndividual going through the vari- ' pus stages of evolution, and that the principle of heredity indicated must have been | present in the ancestors of the in- ' ancestors had go dividual in other words, that these through a pro- cess of slow or secular evolution. But now there existed a very simple method of checking the truth of this statement, for Nature | had written a history, the pages of | which were formed by the rucks of 'the various geological forma- tions, and an important part of its . text by the fossilized remains of |. animals contained therein. Before they appealed to this geo- fogical record they must bear cer- tain 5 i limitations in mind. They KARN THE DRUGGIST FOR SERVICE PHONE 378.

SUNDAY AND MOULIDAY SCHEDULE West Arrive Are must remember it was not contin- uous--the formations were separ- ated by serious gaps--and that on- ly certain rocks contained recog- nizable fossils. While the geolo- gical record must for these rea- sons be a very incomplete history of evolution, how infinitely more incomplete must their knowledge of that record always be! It was an astonishing fact that even with all its disabilities the ge- ological record had already disclos-- ed masses of evidence which af- ford a convincing demonstration of the fact of evolution. Complete History Some of the most fascinating parts of this evidence consisted of little paragraphs of evolutionary history of extraordinary complete- ness. Referring in particular to the evolutional history of the horse, he said that that animal was in its structure beautifully adapted to the life it led in the wild state on dry, open plains, where its food consisted of harsh grassy vegeta- tion. Its most peculiar features were its limbs and its teeth. To facilitate rapid movement the limbs were very long; the main weight of their muscles was concentrated at their upper end to make the period of their pendulum-like swing very short; each had ony a single toe, carrying at its end the cushion-like hoof instead of the long prism-shaped organs with am- ple provision against the wear and tear caused by the harsh grassy food. Passing back from the horses of today one noticed first, he said, the smaller size of the extinct horses. In lower Pliocene deposits another more striking difference was ra- vealed, for horses in those days were seen to have a slender addi- tional toe on each side of the main one--a useless toe, for it was too short to reach the ground. Still further back in time there were still smaller horses, if one might so call them, in which all three toes were well developed and fune- tional, and finally about the begin- ning of the Tertiary period were little creatures with all five toes present, each with a claw at its tip, just like an ordinary mammal. Spe. cimens were produced to show how nature had written down the his- tory of the horse in past geological ages. Types of Creatures Many other similar paragraphs of evolutionary history, Professor Graham Kerr said, had already been yielded up by the rocks, and 5 BEST YAND BI / -- LUMBER & Building Materials Prompt Delivery Right Prices Waterous Meek Ltd. omelrist EYESIGHT SPECIALIST Author of: etry Your Eyes and Health Eye Care and Eye Strain Disney Block > 1516---Phone--1516 their -number increased with the progress of science. They were not the only palaeontalogical evi- dences of evolution. Another important type of evi- dence was the disclosure of links between different types of crea- tures--{for example, the . earliest known bird. Although it was a typieal bird in some respects, it was in others more like a reptile. It was, in fact, a reptile which was just reaching the bird stage of evolution. In conclusion he emphasized the fact that the record of the fossili- ferous rocks was merely the clos- ing pages of evolutionary history. The date of formation of the old- est rocks which had yielded up fos- sile, though inconceivably remote from today, was yet merely as yes- terday compared with the com- mencement of evolutionary time.
