In the Bristol Museum there are two specimens of this tooth. One 

 from the left side is very perfect and characteristic, and shows seven 

 plates, with front and back talons. The four front plates are worn. The 

 second specimen is Mr. Beard's, from Bleadon Cave. It is also from

 but there is no mesial expansion. The enamel-plates are very much 

 crimped, but coarsely and unequally. The fangs are present, and also 

 a disc of pressure behind. The tooth has its perfect coat of cement, 

 while the corresponding Bristol tooth is denuded of cement. It is very 

 narrow in front.
