Domestic animals -- Age; Teeth. EXCESS OF LENGTH OF IN-CTSORS OF LOWER JAW. 139 ments of the lips; the elongated teeth also render less the maxi- mum extent to which the incisors can open than in a normal mouth; the latter can usually open 2J niches, or a little more, while in certain parrot-mouths the space between the open in- cisors is only li to 1J inches. The beveled and distorted tables of the incisors in a parrot-mouth render the determination of age, for these, practically impossible. The judgment of age may be based upon the relative characters, as to the inclination of the teeth, their color, then- size, and what one supposes would be their tables were they cut to their proper length. It frequently happens that a parrot-mouth so interferes with mas- tication, on the part of the animal, that it becomes necessary to resort to operative measures with the saw and file to give the animal a normal mouth. This operation not only relieves the animal, but restores it to the appearance of its approximate age, and does not enter into the category of fraudulent measures. EXCESS OF LENGTH OF THE INCISORS OF THE LOWER JAW. A condition which might be called a reversed parrot- mouth is sometimes seen, which seems to be caused by a slight.
