268 THE ARTISTIC ANATOMY OF ANIMALS 



12. One-half of the third of the entire length of the head * 

 (H) equals : 



The thickness of the forearm, viewed from the front, and 

 taken horizontally from the ars to its external surface. 



The width of the crown of the fore-feet whether from one 

 side to the other, or from before backwards. 



The width of the croivn of the hind-feet, from one side to 

 the other only. 



The width of the posterior fetlocks, taken from the front to 

 the origin of the spur. 



The width of the knee seen from the front. Note : this 

 measure is a little too large. 



The thickness of the ham. Note : this measure is a little 

 under the mark. 



13. One-fourth of the third of the length of the headf 

 (I) gives : 



The thickness of the canon of the fore-limb : that of the 

 hind-quarter is a little thicker. 



14. One-third of this same measurej (K) equals : 



The thickness of the fore-limb close to the knee in its 

 narrowest part. 



The thickness of the posterior pasterns, viewed laterally. 



15. The height from the elbow to the fold of the knee 

 (L) is the same as : 



The height from this same fold to the earth. 



The height from the patella to the fold of the ham. 



The height from the fold of the ham to the crown. 



16. The sixth part of this measure (M) gives : 



The width of the canon of the fore-limb, viewed laterally, in 

 the middle of its length. 



The fetlock, viewed from the front. 



17. The third of this same measure (N) is very nearly 

 equal to : 



The width of the ham, from the fold to the point. 



18. A fourth of this measure (O) gives : 



The width of the knee, measured laterally. 



The length of the knee. 



* That is to say, one-sixth of the total length of the head. 

 f That is, one-twelfth of the length of the head. 

 X That is, a ninth of the length of the head.
