Sole.—The sole is a thick horny plate comprised between the inner border of the wall and its reflected prolongations ; thus occupying the inferior face of the hoof. It offers two faces and two borders or circumferences. The inferior, or external face, forms a more or less concave surface, according to circumstances. The superior, or internal face, corresponds to the peripheral portion of the velvety tissue ; it shows a multitude of little apertures analogous to those of the cutigeral cavity, into which are inserted the papillae of the kerato- genous membrane. The external border, or large circumference, is united, throughout its extent, to the inner contour of the lower border of the wall, by means of its denticulse, Fig. 498.
