As a genera rule, it is only in the male Cervida: that horns are developed. In the reindeer, however, they are common both to the male and female. In the hollow-horned ruminants, the bony protuberances or cores arising from the frontal bones, and supporting the horns. instead of branchin like antlers, form more or less solid cylindrical siafts, the surface being protected by ordinary Pcriostenm (q. v. ), and by an extension of true skin, which becomes deve oped into a dense horny sheath. In the accompanying figure, the horny sheath is detached from the right horn, so as to shew the core in the interior. HORNY TISSUES were formerly regarded as extremely simple in their structure, and as being only different forms of a substance to which the term keratin (from kraa, a horn) was applied. Reccnt investigations, however, shew that the parts which consist of horny tissueas, for example, the persistent horns of the ruminants, the epidermis, the nails, claws, and hoofs, whalebone, tortoise-shell, and c. --have a somewhat complicated, and, in some respects, a variable structure, although they are so far analogous to one another that they roceed from nucleated cells which are not morp ologically developed like the cells of most other or ans, but which, to a certain extent, dry up am are only agglutinated together by an intercellular substance. In a chemical point of view, they also closely resemble one a. notl;er, for when compared with other tissues they all contain a large quantity of sulphur, in combination with a substance whose origin from, or afiinit with the Proteins. . .
