1874 O. C. Marsh in Amer. Jrnl. Sci. 7 249 The present genus represents an intermediate form between Orohippus and Anchitherium... The..species was founded on an imperfect upper molar tooth, which probably belongs to the genus Miohippus.

1876 Times 6 Dec. 10/6 In the recent strata was found the common horse,..in the Meiocene, the Meiohippus, or Anchitherium.

1877 T. H. Huxley in Pop. Sci. Monthly Jan. 294 Next [in the equine series] comes the Miohippus, which corresponds pretty nearly with what I spoke of as the Anchitherium of Europe.

1933 A. S. Romer Vertebr. Paleontol. xvii. 325 In Mesohippus..and the somewhat larger Miohippus we find the beginning of a series of functionally three-toed horses.

1958 C. L. Fenton & M. A. Fenton Fossil Bk. xxxii. 419 Mesohippus was followed by Miohippus, a larger and somewhat more horselike beast.

1991 S. J. Gould Bully for Brontosaurus xi. 179 Miohippus and Mesohippus do not have distinctive dentitions, and previous failure to find a clear separation should not surprise us.
