It has been said, and I believe truly, that "nature abhors plane surfaces" in animal formation, and such is found to be true as normal and altered forms are studied. The above-described aspect shows the atrophy of the bone, but this coffin-bone affords a typical example of hypurtrophy also, and I can submit no better specimen, though I have many others anal- ogous to it, to show the twofold condition of wasting and enlarge- ment existing together in the same bone at different parts. Atro- phy, wasting of bone, precedes hypertrophy, augmentation of bone; and yet both are effects due to prior adverse causes, without which neither of these conditions would have happened. Figs. 706 and 707 represent the hoof and last three bones of the near fore foot of a horse, which, in a state of great lameness, was taken to an Edinburgh tan-yard to be destroyed. I obtained and dissected both fore limbs, which were deformed jirecisely alike,. and were affected by altered conditions of structure, as these speci- mens prove. Fig. 706 shows the conditions of the hoof, which displays obvi- ous traces of mutilation on the exterior surface of the wall, by means of the rasp, and of the indiscreetly-applied drawing-knife. '&y this twofold action of paring the hoof below, and rasping it exteriorly, a result was attained which has been admirably characterized in the technical phraseology of model Italian farriers—"The horse's foot so treated is peeled l
