On the upper surface of the Mares pelvis,the sacro-sciatic notches are very deep ; the inner border of the iliumforms a very concave line, and the ischiatic spines are widely tioor of the pelvis is wide, and the bones composing it have atendency to assume the same horizontal direction. In the Horse, theischiatic border does not describe a regular curve ; it is composed oftwo nearly straight portions, which unite where the neck of the iliumbegins. The supra-cotyloid crests are not much separated, and are 20 OBSTETRICAL ANATOMY. turned outwards, and the two portions of the floor of the canal aredirected very obliquely downwards and inwards. In the Mare theischial arch is wider than in the Horse, and forms a regular curve in.
