At Birth (Figs. 32, 33, 34).— The incisors are not 3'et out. The 

 mucous membrane still covers the teeth, wliich are about to appear. In 

 front are seen under tlie gums the two pinchers, above and below. In 

 jirolile are seen the intermediate teeth, less developed than the pincher 

 teeth. The jaws are rounded. The dental table shows on the side a 

 little ridge formed b_y the anterior border of the pinchers, with a less 

 distinct elevation for the intermediate teeth on the side; the edge of the 

 teeth near the symphysis of the jaw is higher than the outer edge, and 

 comes throuoh first.
