Mr. James Parkinson exhibited a model showing a crowded con-

 presence of permanent teeth before the temporary teeth had been shed. 



Mr. Tomes exhibited to the Meeting an expedient for determining 

 the forms of Dental Instruments, more especially Stopping Instruments. 

 They had all no doubt felt at times the want of an instrument quite 

 suited to the purpose for which it was required ; and in order to meet 

 that difficulty, he had mounted two or three block-tin instruments in

 capable of being bent into any form that might be required while the 

 patient was present, and any maker could supply a steel instrument 

 from the pattern. 



The following communication was received from Dr. Phaser, of 

 St. John's, Newfoundland.
