. Dentition as indicative of the age of the animals of the farm. Domestic animals -- Age; Teeth. of the Animals of the Farm. 11 the morning of its birth, from a cart-colt foaled at the Royal Agricultural College Farm. By the end of the second iveelc after birth, the central incisors Avill be fairly in the mouth, and in six or eight weeJcs the lateral teeth, and also the temporary molars, are well up. In the illustration on p. 12 (Fig. 4) the state of the incisor teeth at two months old is shown. The central incisors at this age have the surfaces very slightly worn, and the cavity or in- fundibulum is not surrounded by a line of worn structure; only the anterior edges of the teeth have yet been subject to attrition. In the lateral incisors the wear is confined to a small portion of Fig. 3.—Incisors of Colt at the anterior edge which is nearest to the central teeth. These appearances are indicated in the drawing (Fig. 4). Between ttuo and six months old the central and lateral in- cisors increase in size with the growth of the animal. At six months old the mouth has a very neat and compact appearance. The centrals and laterals are well developed, and their anterior edges are worn level. The posterior edges are, however, still rather below the anterior, and the table, therefore, is not per- fectly formed. The drawing on p. 13 (Fig. 5) was taken from the mouth of a cart-colt at the age of six months. Soon after seven months, indications of the cutting of the corner teeth may often be seen, and in many instances the points of the teeth will be observed pricking through the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Brown, George Thomas, Sir, 1827-.
