three Years, the Obfervation not being fo exad as 

 always to anfwer two Years and a half.) There 

 grow in their place four others, called Niters or 

 Gatherers^ much ftronger and larger than the Foal- 

 teeth, and then he is at molt but three Years old, 

 and commonly but two and a half. 



At three and a half, and fometimes at four, he 

 calls the next four Foal-teeth, viz. two above and 

 two below, and in their room come four Teeth 

 call'd Separaters. 



There remains then but four Foal-teeth in the 

 Corners, which he changes commonly at four Years 

 and a half. It will be necefTary to keep in memo-

 fuddenly. Yet that doth not hinder but that at their 

 very firft appearing they are as thick and broad as the

 Crown-piece, and very lharp and hollow.
