The exterior of the horse . FP, from the maxillary spine to the supra-orbit (G. and B.).From the auditory hiatus, Q, to the tip of the ear, approximate length of this latter organ (G. and B.).And PQ, from the supra-orbit to the insertion of the ear upon the poll (G. and B.).From the poll to the internal angle of the eye, CO, the distance is equal to that from thislast point to the commissure of the lips, OT, and from the maxillary spine to the superior lips,FS (G. and B.). The separation, TT, of the two commissures of the lips is almost the distance from thesuperior border of the orbital arch to the base of the ear or to the auditory hiatus. In a state of rest, the external limit of the separation of the nostrils does not exceed thewidth of the knee ; the same distance often exists between the base of the ears, in quietude,over the region of the poll. We have intentionally represented in the figure the latter directedin different directions, in order to show that when the external part of the ear is turned back-.

The limit, MN, of the lips exceeds very little that of the nostrils ; in many heads displayingharmonious proportions, this distance is one-half of AB. POINTS FROM WHICH THE PROPORTIONS ARE STUDIED. 365 As to that which concerns the comparative proportions of man andhorse, the reader may gather information from Fig. 130, which repre-sents a man of m. mounted upon a horse of m.

Besides the relations of length, width, and thickness which existbetween the different regions of the body, it is also important to knowthe relations of direction possessed by the different bony regions super-posed one upon the othe
