The condyle projects medially further than in the horse, and is concave from side to sitle. The coronoid process is extensive and curves backward. The hyoid bone has a short tuberous lingual proc(>ss. The middle cornua are almost as large as the small cornua. The great cornua are narrow, except at the ends. The upper end divides into two branches, which correspond to the two angles of that of the horse. The thyroid cornua do not fuse with the body except in old SKULL OF THE OX AS A WHOLE The skull of the ox is more clearly pyramidal than that of the horse, and is shorter and relatively wider. The cranium is quadrangular and larger externally than in the horse; its large size is due mainly to the great extent of the frontal sinuses and does not affect the cranial cavity, which is smaller than in tli horse. The frontal surface (Fig. 133) is formed bj' the frontals, nasals, and premaxillse. The frontal part is quadrilateral and very extensive, the greatest width being at the orbits. It presents a central depression on its anterior part, and on either side are the supraorbital grooves and foramina. Behind is the median frontal eminence, , Bod liar angle.
