The Squill seems to form a connecting link between the last and present order. It is the only genus of the heterobranchial Crustacea in which [Pg 138]the eyes are placed on footstalks; the head, instead of being distinct, appears in a great measure drawn into the corslet. It has been called the Sea Mantis, from its bearing some resemblance to an insect of that name, on account of the singularly-formed hooks with which two of its foot-jaws are armed - Pearly Natilus

Anatomy of the Foot.—This illustration represents the foot of a horse sawed from above the fetlock down through the center of the foot. It shows the structure of the foot, the name of each part being given according to number. 1. Lower end of large metacarpal, or cannon bone. 2. Bursa, which secretes the joint oil that lubricates the place where the tendon, or cord, on the front of the leg passes down over the front of the fetlock joint. This is important as it sometimes gets injured and becomes enlarged. It is then called a bursal enlargement, and is of the same nature as a wind gall. 3. Fetlock joint. 4. Os suffraginis, or large pastern bone. 5. Pastern joint. This joint is important; when diseased it is the seat of a high ringbone. 6. Os coronae or small pastern bone. 7. Coffin joint. This joint is important, for when it is diseased it is known as a low ringbone. 8. Wall of the hoof. 9. Os pedis, or coffin bone. 10. Sensitive wall, or quick of the foot. 11. Sensitive sole, or quick of the foot. 12. Frog of the foot, or horney frog. 13. Plantar cushion, or fatty frog. 14. Navicular bone. This is also important, for when diseased it is the seat of navicular, or coffin joint lameness. 15. Back tendons below the fetlock. 16. Sesamoid, or fetlock bones. 17. Skin. 18. Back tendons above the fetlock. - Skeleton of Horse
Skeleton of the Horse 1.Skull, or skeleton of the head. 2.Cervical vertebræ or neck bones. 3.Dorsal vertebræ or back bones. 4.Lumbar vertebræ or loin bones. 5.Sacral vertebræ or rump bones. 6.Coccygeal vertebræ or tail bones. 7.Pelvic or hip bones. 8.Sternum or breast bone. 9.Ribs. 10.Scapula or shoulder blade. 11.Humerus or shoulder bone. 12.Radius or bone of the fore-arm. 13.Ulna or bone of the fore-arm. 14.Carpus or bones of the knee. 15.Os Melacarpi Magnus, metacarpal, or cannon bone. 16.Ossa Melacarpi Parva, or splint bones. 17.Proximal Phalanx, os suffraginis, or large pastern bone. 18.Great Sesamoid Bones. 19.Medium Phalanx, os coronæ, or small pastern bone. 20.Distal Phalanx, os pedis, or coffin bone. 21.Os Naviculare, small sesamoid, or shuttle bone. 22.Femur, or thigh bone. 23.Patella, or stifle bone. 24.Tibia, or leg bone. 25.Fibula. (This bone is little developed in the horse.) 26.Tarsus or hock bones. 27.Metatarsus, or os metatarsi magnus. 28.Ossa Metatarsi Parva, or splint bones of the hind leg. Names of joints placed according to numbers. I. Shoulder Joint. II. Elbow Joint. III.Carpus or knee joint. IV.Fetlock Joint. V.Pastern Joint. VI.Coffin Joint. VII.Hip Joint. VIII.Stifle Joint. IX.Tarsus or hock joint. - Nervous system of a horse

The love for hunting wild animals, such as the wolf, bear, and boar (see chapter on Hunting), from an early date took the place of the animal combats as far as the court and the nobles were concerned. The people were therefore deprived of the spectacle of the combats which had had so much charm for them; and as they could not resort to the alternative of the chase, they treated themselves to a feeble imitation of the games of the circus in such amusements as setting dogs to worry old horses or donkeys, &c. - Jugglers
At first, and down to the thirteenth century, the profession of a juggler was a most lucrative one. There was no public or private feast of any importance without the profession being represented. Their mimicry and acrobatic feats were less thought of than their long poems or lays of wars and adventures, which they recited in doggerel rhyme to the accompaniment of a stringed instrument. The doors of the châteaux were always open to them, and they had a place assigned to them at all feasts.
