For the purpose of faster travel, we concluded to again ride. Our attempts to catch the horse seemed in vain.

Owen, moreover, had been led to speak repeatedly of the "generalized forms" of extinct animals, and Agassiz had called them "synthetic or prophetic types," these terms clearly implying "that such forms are in fact intermediate or connecting links."
