The inferior ca-nines, o, moreover, retaintheir laniariform shapein the Camelidce, and aremore erect in positionthan in the ordinary Ru-minants. They are separated by a short diastema from the inci-sors in the Auchenice. The true nature of the corresponding canines in the ordinaryRuminants, in which they are procumbent, and form part of thesame series with the incisors, is always indicated by the latenessof their development, and
