The whole of the superior face of the sole is covered with numerous fine punctures which receive the papillae of the sensitive sole. The Inferior Face is more or less concave according to circumstances, its deepest part being at the point of the frog. Sloping from this point to its circumference, it.

The inferior face of horny sole: b ; inferior border of the wall; c, body or cushion of the frog; d. median lacuna of the frog; e, lateral lacuna of the frog; /. the bar; g, the quarter; //, the point of the frog; i, the heel. becomes suddenly fiat just before joining the wall. Its horn in appearance is flaky. The External Border or Circumference is intimately dove- tailed with the horny laminae of the wall. At its circum- ference the sole, if unpared, is ordinarily as thick as the wall. This thickness is maintained for a short distance towards its centre, after which it becomes gradually more thin. The Internal Border has the shape of an elongated V with the apex pointing forwards. It is much thinner than.
