section of the edge of the permanent succeeding tooth below it ; 

 there is no germ below the next tooth, whose roots are much 

 larger and straighter. This tooth fits the front tooth of the two 

 upper molars mentioned above. 



A second specimen shows two lower molars well worn, of which 

 the first is about the same size as the first true molars of the 

 previous specimen. The fragment is broken away underneath, 

 and the roots show that they belong undoubtedly to permanent 

 teeth.
