I regret to mention that due to the name stability rules (whoever names
the species first wins, subject to being overruled on a case-by-case
basis by the appropriate international society), the lovely name
*Eohippus* 'dawn horse' has now been replaced by the ugly and
unsuitable name *Hyracotherium* 'hyrax-like animal'.
