In profile, we see in this animal a more tardy eruption of the tush teeth, which are not j^et quite free from the gums, and are, therefore, of little value as regards the age. The tables furnish a most accurate guide ; the posterior border of both inferior and superior corner teeth are worn ; the pincher teeth are leveled and their tables tend to an oval form. It is seen, however, that the inferior cups are thicker at their anterior borders,—due to a small portion of the sur- face enamel still remaining. The cups are narrower from side to side than at five years, and somewhat closer to the posterior border of the table; the same appears on the intermediate teeth. It will be noticed that the cups of the superior corner teeth have fissures on their poste- rior borders, which is of frequent occurrence and does not interfere with judging the amount of work Mhich they have 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 Huidekoper, Rush Shippen, 1854-1901.
