Hints to horse-keepers : a complete manual for horsemen; embracing chapters on mules and ponies . adopt the classification of Pessina, a GermaiiVeterinary Surgeon); At birth the teeth have not appeared; six or eightdays thereafter the two middle nippers of the set of milkteeth are cut; the pair next tothem are cut at thirty or fortydays; and the corner teeth atsix to ten months. These teeth ^^jhave all the mark, or superficialcavity, when first cut; this how-ever disappears in the teeth ofthe lower jaw, in the middle nippers, in ten months; inthe next pair at one year; in the corner teeth at from fifteen months to two years. The milk teeth give place to the permanent set as fol-lows : the middle nippers at two and a half to three year^the next pair at three and a half to four years, the cornerteeth at four and a half to five years,—these periods mayby hastened three or four months by pulling or knockingout the milk teeth. At Jive yearsy the corners are up even with the otheiteeth, the mark is entirely worn out from the middle nip-pers, and partly worn from the next pair (fig. 4).

At seven years^ the mark is entirely gone from the secondpair, the edges of the corner teeth are worn somewhat flat;though there is still a slight cavity in the centre. At eight years^ the teeth of the lower jaw are worn en-tirely flat, the mark having disappeared from all of form of the surface of the tooth has become oval, andthe central enamel is long from side to side, and is near tothe front of the tooth. At nine years, the middle nippers are rounded on theinner side, the oval of the second pair and of the cornerteeth becomes broader, the central enamel is nearer to theinner side, and the marks have disappeared from the teethof the upper jaw (fig. 5). At ten years, the second pair are rounded on the innerside, and the central enamel is very n
