ANATOMY OF THE HORSE.

higher than its middle, the infra-orbital foramen; near the inner 
angle of the orbit, the lachrymal tubercle; between the foramen 
and the tubercle, a depression marking the attachment of the na- 
salis longus labii superioris; anteriorly, a superficial hollow, de¬ 
noting the place of attachment of the caninus: besides these, 
various other muscular impressions are perceptible. The sutures 
displayed upon this surface, are— the lateral nasal, extending 
from the transverse suture to the lateral impelling of the nose, and 
uniting the nasal to the lachrymal, and superior and anterior 
maxillary bones; the malar suture, running transversely down¬ 
ward and outward from the lateral nasal, and connecting the su¬ 
perior maxillary to the lachrymal and malar bones ,* the lachrymal 
suture, extending perpendicularly backward from the malar, and 
continuing its course within the orbit, uniting the lachrymal and 
malar bones; the maxillary suture, extending obliquely, forward 
and downward, from the anterior part of the lateral nasal, and 
joining the superior and anterior maxillary bones. Supero- 
anteriorly (in relation to this surface) we perceive one of the lateral 
openings of the nose, bounded in front by the nasal peak, behind 
by the superior or convex border of the anterior maxillaiy bone. 
In front of this border, the bone shows the surface for the attach¬ 
ment of the depressor labii superioris. From the inferior parts of 
this region project the molar, canine, and lateral incisive teeth.
