That portion of M 553 B which we consider to correspond to the posterior portion of A has been reconstructed (fig. 22). It appears obvious that M 553 A must belong to M 553 B1;

That portion of M 553 B which we consider to correspond to the posterior portion of A has been reconstructed (fig. 22). It appears obvious that M 553 A must belong to M 553 B1; this is in accordance with the degree of eruption of P4 and the degree of wear of Mx and M2 in the latter fragment. Consequently these three fragments must belong to the same individual. (See also 'Appendix'.). M 553A M 553 b.
