Summary.1 The fossil remains of a large form of Equus caballus L. and of Equus robustus Pomel found in the Norfolk Forest Beds have been described. Most of the specimens are upper or lower cheek‐teeth, but there is a small number of limb‐bones. 2 The variability of the dimensions of the third and fourth lower pre‐molars has been expressed numerically. 3 There is not enough material known from the different localities at which the fossils were collected to show whether there are any significant differences between the various lots of fossils.
