 that the Platypus, like the Ant-Eaters, is furnished with small 

 bony processes resembling grinding-teeth, imbedded in the gum, 

 but not fastened or rooted in the jaw : of these processes there are 

 two on each side both of the upper and under jaw. See a paper 

 on tkis subject by Mr. E. Hwne, in the poM volume of the Philoso- 

 phical Transaction*.
