This Is approximately the same position from which sprout tho horns of many animals whose horns have a full growth. Despite thin evidence of a return to some earlier state of development, no trace of their presence can be found on any of tho skulls of horses which belonged lo other atfoa. Thousands of thoso skulls have boon uncovered In many lands.
