As seen in the cut, Figure 20, the tooth in its original shape curves more rapidly towards its outer end. The shape of the remaining portion of the tooth is not altered as the tooth wears off and is pushed for- ward. The height of the mo- lars remains fairly constant, and thus the distance between the jawbones at the outer end also remains constant. As the exposed ends of the teeth lose their cuivature and the straighter portion of the original tooth comes into view with advancing years, they meet farther and farther to the front, and the visible por- tion of the tooth becomes longer. Contrast Figures 11 and 12. At the same time the teeth become narrower in di- ameter, and so appear more closely bunched in the older animals. Contrast Figures 18 and 23. The plumpness of the gums is less in old horses than iUji^young ones. Contrast Fig- ures 11 and 12. Digitized by Microsoft®.
