Resumen:
In this letter we comment on two recent papers by Forsten (1998, 1999). In the former, the author discusses the possibility of using horse species as stratigraphic markers. The latter is a review of Equus stenonis forms, and also emphasises this approach. Both papers are very interesting since one of the most qualified specialists on fossil horses contributes there with her own ideas to the open debate on the systematic and stratigraphic value of the European horses. However, we believe that some aspects of Forsten´s papers can be analysed in a different way.
