  from 
  above, 
  it 
  shows 
  a 
  flexure 
  of 
  the 
  median 
  line 
  with 
  the 
  con- 
  

   vexity 
  to 
  the 
  left. 
  The 
  upper 
  molars 
  on 
  the 
  right 
  side 
  were 
  more 
  

   exsertthan 
  those 
  on 
  the 
  left, 
  a 
  condition 
  probably 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  want 
  

   of 
  antagonism 
  below. 
  The 
  head 
  in 
  all 
  its 
  parts, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  some 
  

   portions 
  of 
  the 
  skeleton, 
  participated 
  in 
  this 
  want 
  of 
  symmetry, 
  

   consequent 
  apparently 
  upon 
  this 
  condition 
  of 
  the 
  jaw.
