 table of the temporary molar when cast off is shown 

 in the figure immediately underneath, to which the 

 letter c is also affixed, and the projecting portions 

 ascending from its edges exhibit the last remnants of 

 what originally was the fang : b h are molars, well 

 up and worn to a level. 



The next wood-cut exhibits the molar a, imme- 

 diately after it has lost its covering. At this time 

 the table is very uneven, presenting points which the 

 finger would readily recognize, but in a short time 

 these wear off, and an even surface is obtained, ren- 

 dering it level with the other teeth, h b.
