. The comparative anatomy of the domesticated animals. Horses; Veterinary anatomy. 428 THE DIGESTIVE APPARATUS IN MAMMALIA. In the Cat, the hairy teutuculse are collected on the upper lip into two long lateral tufts the moustaches; they are very sensitive and movable. 2. Cheeks. 3. Palate.—The cheeks resemble those of the Pig; the palate that of small Ruminants. The mucous niembrune is often stained by patches of pigment, especially on the palate. (The latter is frequently quite black. The number of ridges on the palate varies from seven to nine. Jacobson's opens beliind the incisors.)

The papillae on its upper face vary somewhat in the Cat and Dog. In the Cat, the filiform papillae on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue are covered by a very strong horny sheath, the point of which is directed backwards. In the Dog these papillae are less developed, and there are observed, more particularly, a number of composite filiform papillae, the divisions of which are very flexible. There also are found regularly disposed among these, white shining epithelial particles which correspond to small fungiform papillae.
