as in the fossil example, and an alveolus on each side, behind, nearly 

 filled up. 



2. In the second example there were four grinders on the one 

 side and five in the other, the last being small. 



3. In the third example there were four grinders on each side, 

 and two shallow sockets on each side behind, out of which the teeth 

 had recently fallen, and the trace of a seventh obliterated alveolus on 

 each side. 



4. In the fourth example there were five grinders on each side 

 and one nearly obliterated alveolus on each side. 



The incisors appeared to be equally u'regular in their number and 

 development. Thus, in the 1st, there was one incisor on the one 

 side and only an obliterated socket in the other. In the 2cl, one 

 incisor on one side. In the Sd, two incisors on one side and one in 

 the other. In the 4«A, one on each side. 



Dr Fleming concluded his communication by stating, that the few 

 examples which were before the Society, while they indicated very 

 plainly an irregularity in the dentition of the Walrus, not perceived 

 in the eleven London examples, forbade our attaching any import- 

 ance to the Gayhead organism, as referable to an extraordinary 

 variety, and still less to a new species of the genus Trichecus.
