In horses thereis a bony plate which separates thecerebrum from the cerebellum—the tentorium cerebelli,—so thatcare must be used not to injure thebrain on this projection when pull-ing the skull-cap off. The skull-cap having been re-moved (see Fig. 4588), it shouldbe examined for any alteration instructure on the inner surface;also as to any thickening of thedura mater. The general condition of the surface of thebrain must be examined. The dura mater, if it has notbeen taken off with the skull-cap, must now be divided.
