We haveseveral times had the opportunity of witnessing these anomalies, more especiallyin the superior jaw. Superior JaW.—We have handed to Dr. Magitot several siJeciiuens, whichhe reproduced in his beautiful treatise upon the Anomalies du Système Den-taire. We will limit ourselves here to a few examples. In one case (Fig. 308) there existed two supernumerary pincers, a, a, and oneintermediate, b. In another (Fig. 309) the supernumerary teeth were two intermediates, a and b. In a third horse (Fig. 310) the anomaly consisted of one supernumerary in-termediate, a, lying transversely and kept in po
