In H. huxleyi the teeth are also in much more definite rows, and the number of rows on the maxilla exceed those on the palatine. In the Indian beast the crowns form triangular pyramids whereas in the Tanganyika beast the crowns are bluntly conical. In Scaphonyx australis the teeth are of very similar shape and have very nearly the same arrangement. But, whereas the anterior maxillary teeth are larger than the posterior ones in the Tanganyika specimen, the reverse is the case in the South American Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
