The head of a horse has been divided below the 

 orbits, and a back view of the facial portion is here 

 shown, the spectator being supposed to look into the 

 cavities, which have been thereby exposed, a indi- 

 cates the molar teeth on that side which was not the 

 seat of disease, and they are of the natural length 

 and obliquity. b denotes the teeth on that side 

 where the disease was seated, and shows them to be 

 not only unusually slanting on their grinding surfaces 

 or tables, but also of considerable length. It was 

 the last tooth on this side which was carious, and 

 the shape of the molars has been occasioned by the 

 animal during its life, being unable, because of pain.
