The latter only merits notice. It is very thick, and is divided into two parts : an inferior, which describes a curved line, con- cavity upwards, and is excavated by three alveoli for the reception of the incisor teeth ; another, the superior, is straight, vertical, and somewhat sharp, and forms part of the dental interspace. It is limited above, near the base of the external process, by a cavity for the formation of the alveolus of the canine tooth. Processes.—These are distinguished as external and intei'iial. The first, the longest and strongest, is flattened on both sides ; its external face is smooth, and continued with that of the thick por- tion of the bone ; its internal face is covered
