the teeth have lost tlie mark, and the nippers 

 begin to assume the oval form ; the remainder 

 of the funnel is close to the inner edge of the 

 table of the tooth. 



Fig. 6. This jaw belonged to a Horse that 

 was ei£:ht years old off. All the incisors have 

 lost the mark, and the septum of the root ap- 

 pears on the table of the nippers, in the shape 

 of a small transverse zone, situate in front of 

 the funnel, and quite close to the outer edge 

 of the tooth. 



Fig. 7. The end of a jaw, nine years old. 

 The nippers are rounded, and the dividers 

 beginning to assume that form ; the remainder 

 of the funnel of these four teeth is round, and 

 quite close to the inner edge of the tooth. 

 These same teeth exhibit the septum of the 

 root, which is most prominent in the nippers. 



Fiff. 8. This exhibits a iaw of ten years 

 old. This is merely the rudiment of the fun- 

 nel in the nippers, as well as in the dividers, 

 and the remainder of the central enamel 

 touches the inner edge of the table of the 

 tooth. The nippers and the dividers are 

 rounded, and the corner- teeth present an oval 

 Kjrm. 



Fig. 9. From the state of the teeth of thia 

 jaw, it had attained its eleventh year. All its 

 incisors are rounded, and only now carry a 

 slight trace of the central enamel, which 

 touches the inner edge of the table of the 

 tooth, the septum of the root appears in all 

 the teeth, and the remainder of the funnel is 

 smaller in the nippers, than in the dividers 

 and corner-teeth. 



Fig. 10. In this jaw, which marks twelve 

 years old, the nippers have lost the central 

 enamel, and the septum of the root is rounded. 



Fig. 11. This is aged thirteen years off; 

 the nippers have become triangular, the di- 

 viders are also assuming that form, and the 

 corners are still rounded. The septum of the 

 root is rounded in the four latter, and is seen 

 in the middle of the table. The tushes are 

 very much worn. 



Fig. 12. The Horse to whom this jaw be- 

 longed, might have been thirteen or fourteen 

 years of age ; the nippers are triangular, and 

 the dividers are becoming so. The tushes 

 are still more worn than in the preceding 

 figure.
