The teeth are depicted exactly as they appeared Fig. 18.—Incisors 0/Horse ( Solace ), at ten in the summer of 1852, and fairly represent the characters of the ten-year-old-mouth. At twelve years old the teeth are longer from the receding of thegums, and are also narrower in consequence of having been worntowards the fang, which decreases in width from the neck of thetooth to its termination. The tusks are blunted, especially those ofthe upper jaw, and a quantity of tartar often surrounds those in thelower jaw. The incisors at this age project almost in a straight linefrom the jaws, and in some mouths a line drawn transversely acrossthe tables of the teeth will cut the centres of all of them, exceptingthose of the corner teeth. The next drawing (Fig. 19) represents the teeth of the thorough-bred horse Lothario, foaled in 1840, as they appeared in 1852. On comparing the tables of the teeth with those of the mare Solace (Fig. 18) at the age of ten years, it will be seen that thereare certain important differences. The central incisors have quitelost the mark, which is only repre
