Dear Sir:
I send my notes upon the Horse in Motion. Some of the suggestions I think valuable, others trivial. Of course I shall be happy to explain them upon occasion; and I could [fit?] them into more workmanlike form, but it would be a waste of time un-

less it were certain that they were to be used.
My brother, Danl. le French, sculptor, has been modelling an equestrian statue (Paul Revere, for Boston) and has used your book. And we attended Maybridge's exhibition together in Boston.

The Horse in Motion Notes and Criticisms
by W. M. R. French; Nov 1882 137 E. Capitol St. Washington D. C.
The confusion in the lettering of the plates and in the references to them, is apparent upon the most casual reading, and must have been observed as soon as the book came out of press. A person entirely unacquainted with anatomy could hardly hope to find his way through the entanglements due to this cause. In the copy that I have the lettering is entirely wanting in one plate, (IX), and it is doubtful if this is not better than the confusion of others. The following is a memorandum of such errata as I have observed in connection with the plates:
Errata in Plates. Plate II Page Line 39, 18; "b" for 3d Trochanter seems to mean 10. There is no b in the Plate.
Plate III 36, 11; "q" for Ilio-spinalis. Letter wanting in Plate. /over
