Thus, the young tiger is spotted, and BO is the young lion; but, whereas in the former case the spots change into the well- known stripes (which are really loops), in the latter they die away. The horse, as Darwin long ago showed, was probably descended from a striped animal, as shown by the bars on a foal's leg. But before this the animal must have been spotted ; and the dappled horses are an exampl...e of this ; and, moreover, almost every horse shows a tendency to spottiness, especially on the haunches. In the museum at Leiden a fine series of the Java pig (Sus vittatus) is preserved. Very young animals are banded, but have spots over the shoulders and thighs ; these run into stripes as the animal grows older; then the stripes expand, and, at last meeting, the mature animal is a uniform dark brown. Enough has now, I trust, been said upon this point to show that from spots have been developed the other markings with which we are familiar in the animal kingdom.
