This often makesthe animal appear as if it wore a high fur cap (Fig. 99). Owing to the great development of the forehead, the upper jaw appearsto be shorter than usual; and, indeed, it will be found that it is reallyso (Fig. 96).. Fig. 98. Skull of a HrnRotErHALic Foal: the Cranial K<x)f DEKicreNTAT THK Sides. When the cranial cavity is opened and the dura mater incised, thereis found a quantity—varying with the dimensions of the tumour—oflimpid, colourless, or slightly yellow or greenish serum. The quantity of fluid varies considerably, but it is generally from twoto four pints in the Foal and Calf. Eainard estimated the quantity offluid that had been contained in the skull of a Calf sent to him, at two 384 F(ETAL DYSTOKIA. and a quarter litres—the largest quantity he had met with. Drouard,however, in 1842, published the details of a case of a Foal whose craniumheld four and a half litres (about eight imperial pints). Fig. 98 represents a Foals skull, now in the museum of the LyonsVeterinary School, and which, from its dimensions, Saint-Cyr calculatesto have contained eight litres (about thirteen pints).
