angulations, and faint crimping, which decrease towards the cornua. The ridge is 
remarkable for the profusion of its digitations, as seen in fig. 10. 
Last Upper Milk-molar. Nat. size. 
The colline (a) shown in PI. II. fig. 1 equals in breadth those of figs. 10 & 17, which 
might therefore fairly be considered the last milk-molars of the same pygmy form. 
There is a perfect upper molar, said to belong to the Zebbug collection, although, 
strange to say, it is not referred to by Falconer in his description of the teeth. It has, 
however, been figured and described by Mr. Busk in a note appended to Falconer’s 
Last Lower Milk-molar? Nat. size. 
memoir’. This specimen displays ten ridges in a space of 2°9 inches, and in characters 
agrees very well with the above. 
1 Trans. Zool. Soc. vol. vi. p. 290. I have examined the specimen carefully, and compared its exterior with 
other molars from Zebbug, and find they agree in mineralogical characters, only that the white incrustation on 
the cement is very much thicker in the aboye. Considering that the specimen must have been with Dr. Fal- 
coner when he wrote his description of the last upper milk-molar of Hlephus melitensis, it seems very strange 
that he should have selected a fragment of an analogous tooth when he had such a perfect specimen of the 
same type before him.
