68 THE HORSE. 



This chapter will be concluded by placing before the 

 reader fig. 2>3> representing the corresponding portions of 

 the horse and the human skeleton. The idea suggested 

 byGarsantin 1769, in his "New Complete Farrier," is here 

 clearly set forth with the exact proportions of the horse 

 in order to render it more comprehensible. 



The letters of this figure should be thus interpreted : 

 — S, scapula or shoulder of horse, — s, scapula of man. — 

 H, k t humerus (arm). — O, 0, olecraneum (elbow). — C, c, 

 carpus (wrist). — M, m, sabot (finger). — I, i, iliac bone 

 (pelvis). — F, f, femur (thigh). — R, r, patella (knee). — 

 T, /, os calcaneum (heel). — P,/, foot. — O, C, 0, c, forearm. 

 — R, T, r, t, leg.
