* Apart from some (two or three) inconspicuous, thin and serrate ridges 

 situated close together at extreme posterior border of palate. — The fifth and 

 sixth (often also the fourth) ridges produce a distinct transverse elevation on the 

 bony palate, so that, even if the soft palate has been destroyed, it is generally 

 easv to see whether tbere has been one or two postdental ridges.
