WOUNDS 255 



ing about an inch of the horny substance of it, the entire 

 completion of which I should rather doubt, as I mentioned 

 in my former communication that the sensitive laminae 

 and a small portion of the sole were lacerated, and it is in 

 these parts that the imperfections exist. 



' The yet imperfectly-formed wall not admitting of the 

 insertion of nails all around it, the shoe is held on partly 

 by nails and partly by a strap attached to it bound round 

 the coronet,''^ 



3. ' This case is related by Mr. A. Eogerson, F.R.C.V.S. 

 It occurred to an animal regularly engaged in shunting, 

 and happened through the corner of the shoe becoming 

 "trapped" between a line of metal and the wheel of a 

 truck. It is particularly interesting on account of the 

 photograph accompanying it, and which we here reproduce 

 in Fig. 115. 



' The photograph shows plainly the manner in which the 

 holding of the " clinches" on the left side of the hoof has 

 resulted in drawing it off from the foot. Had these 

 clinches, as Mr. Eogerson suggests, been left unfastened, 

 then the accident in all probability would not have occurred. 

 The animal was destroyed.'!
