All exact drawing of a hoof, on a scale of three-fourths size, which was macerated'-' from the foot of a five-year- old horse that was never shod but once. The shoe is ac- cording to the author's idea of form, and the nailing, how it should be done. *The hoof from which the above drawing, and sections of the same followiug, were made, was as nearly a perfect specimen as could be found. It was secured by Prof. McLellau, and by him given to Mr. David Roburg, referred to in another part of this cliapter, by whom it was highly prized as a model. The writer called upon this gentleman, and upon making known his desire to secure the specimeu to make drawings from, it was cheerfully presented to him for the purpose. The difficulty of securing a competent artist to make the drawings required, notwithstanding the greatest effort, nearly defeated the accomplishment of this object. One was Anally obtained for a few hours at a time, until the drawings here given were secured. It was the intention of the writer to give in this part not only a number of illus- trations showing different kinds of feet and shoes, but also the changes produced by contraction and disease. With this object in view, several visits were made by him to the docks at 38th street. New York, where all dead subjects are daily col- lected, to make suitable selections. But after weeks of persistent effort he found it impossible to secure a competent artist to make the drawings, and in consequence the project had to be given up, but hope to be able
