THE HORSE UNDER DOMESTICATION 05 ing surface of p.m. ? and 3. m. 1 and ? are in use and somewhat worn. At about three and one-half years d. 7. + will be shed. At four the shedding of d. m. 4 follows very closely after, or sometimes during the eruption of m. 3. A little later d. 7. 3 is shed. At about five or a little before, the canines will erupt and d. 7. 3 are shed, and the permanent dentition is all in use. There are a number of specimens on exhibition in the wall vase, not figured in this description, which it would be well to consult in connection with the shedding, of teeth.
