276 THE ARTISTIC ANATOMY OF ANIMALS 



An equality still more frequent is that which exists between 

 the distances : 



O, B, from the internal angle of the eye to the margin of 

 the lips ; 



A, H, from the nape to the insertion of the throat into the 

 maxillary trough ; 



And H, B, from this latter point to the margins of the lips. 



Fig. 1 10. — Proportions of the Head of the Horse, seen from the 

 Front (after Colonel Duhousset). 



The Head, Front View (Fig. no). — If, to continue our 

 examination, adds M. Duhousset, we regard the head from 

 the front, we find its greatest width at A, B, the extreme 

 points of the orbital arches. 



This width is 22 centimetres. 



It is again equal to : 



A, C, from one arch to the nape ; 



A, D, from one arch to the middle of the face.
