FOUR OFF 



At this age, we have the successive fall of the corner milk-teeth, 

 which, if they do remain in, appear as small stumps ready to drop 

 out. In this particular case, the corner milk incisors of the near 

 side have fallen out ; while those of the off side, especially the 

 upper one, will soon follow their example. This would be a mouth 

 of about four years and two months. The corner permanent 

 incisors of the near side do not touch. Viewed from the front, the 

 front and middle incisors are all on a level with each other. The 

 central enamel is isolated on the tables of the upper front incisors, 

 and, nearly so, in those of the lower jaw. *' At this period, we may 

 frequently mark anomalies in the eruption of the teeth. In fact, it 

 is not rare to see the side and corner teeth come out at the same 

 time. The animal is, then, four and a half, or, even, only four years 

 old, although he looks like five " (M. Yvon, V.S. Bayeux).
