of the Dutch coUar, and the borders are secured by little tapes on 

 the outside of the forearm. Sometimes these borders are fastened 

 together by laces inserted obliquely. 



22d. Bandage for the ^nee.— This is square, notched on its 

 superior border and in the center, both of which are provided with 

 a small piece to form a gusset, in which the bony projections of 

 the knee are secured. A double, ordinary band, or, what is better, 

 an elastic strap attaches it to the breast-band, while smaller tapes 

 serve to tie it to the back of the knee.

Fia. 142.— Bandage for tlie Stifle. 



23d. Bandage for the Stifle. — This is of a triangular figure, 

 the base of which should be four times longer than its height. It 

 has three bands, one at each angle. That of the superior angle 

 passes along the flank, and is attached to the crupper strap at the 

 loins ; that of the inferior angle tvnsts forward and inward on the 

 thigh, and connects with the crupper at the base of the tail, while 

 the third band turns around the crupper, crosses the internal face 

 of the thigh from behind forward, passes in front of the stifle, and 

 terminates backward at the same point with the preceding band, 

 after twisting around that of the superior angle.
