I present a cut (Fig. 20), which shows the mouth of this animal, 'Young Aberdeen,' stall 15, and I be- lieve him—Prof. Youatt being the authority— to be five years old. I also present a cut (Fig. 21) showing the outside of 'Young Aber- deen's' teeth, and that absorption has already begun. I also present cut (Fig. 16), which is taken from the mouth of the steer 'Canada Champion,' who stood in stall No. 17 in the ex- hibition catalogue, and a cut (Fig. 17), which shows the outside of the same mouth and from the same steer 'Canada Champion.' "Another cut (Fig. 18) was from the mouth of the steer entered in the exhibition catalogue as No. 18. One half of the mouth was destroyed in slaughtering, but the other half answered equally well as though the whole were present. The cut (Fig. 19) shows the outside of the same mouth. Nos. 17 and 18. by referring to the exhibition catalogue, were entered as fol- lows: No. 17, as dropped May 29, 1879, and as 1,265 days old, or three years six months and five days old; No. 18, dropped April 19, 1879, 1,305 days old, or three years seven months and fifteen days old. My next cut (Fig. 22) is the mouth of the steer entered in the exhibi- tion catalogue as 111, and as dropped February, 1880, and as 1,011 days old, or two years nine months and 21 days. Another cut (Fig. 23) shows the front view of the teeth of this ani- mal, both cuts showing the full mouth of eight teeth. Cut (Fig. 24) is from the steer entered as No. 113, dropped August 28, 1879, and 1,174 days old, or three years three months and four davs old. Fig. 25 shows the outside
