Horses; Horses; Horses; CHR 1887; PRO Smith, James Somers, Jr. (donor). Fig. 310.—One year old. five to six weeks, another incisor will appear on either side of the two first, and the mouth will appear something like cut 308. At two they will have reached their natural level, and between the second and third months, the second pair will have overtaken them. They will then begin to wear away a little, and the outer edge, which was at first somewhat raised and sharp, is brought to a level with the inner one, and so the^ mouth continues until some time between the sixth and ninth months, when another nipper begins to appear on each side of the two first, making six above and below, and com- pleting the colt's mouth; after which, the only observable differ- ence, until between the second and third years, is in the wear of these teeth. These teeth are covered witli a pol- ished, hard substance, called enamel. It spreads over that portion of the teetli which appears above the gum; and nol only so, but as they are to be so much employed in nipping the grass, and gathering up the animal's food, (and in such employment even this hard sub- stance must be gradually worn away,). Fig. 311.—Twenty months. a portion of it, as it passes over the up- per surface of the teeth, is bent inward, and sunk into the body of the teeth, and forms a little pit in them. The in- side and bottom of this pit being black- ened by the food, constitutes the marh of the teeth, by the gradual disap- pearance of which, in consequence of the wearing down of the edges, we are enabled, for several years, to deter
