which are placed at nearly regular distances of about two inches ; and 

 are observed to exist in the same manner on the fragment (No. 1043) 

 which joins to it." — Organic Remains, vol. iii. p. 375. 



1043. The inner wall, with its enamel, of the same left inferior canine of the 



Hippopotamus major, Cuvier. 



From the Till at Walton, Essex. Mus. Parkinson. 



1044. A fragment of the left lower canine of the Hippopotamus major, Cuvier. 

 It is from a young individual, and had scarcely come into use ; the 

 pulp-cavity extends to near the apex of the conical and unworn crown. 



Mr. Parkinson describes this specimen as follows : — " A fragment 

 of a tusk or lower canine tooth which is only about half the size of the 

 preceding specimen. It has the markings of its enamel of a different 

 character from that of the larger tooth, and particularly is devoid 

 of those transverse rugous markings, which are so strongly formed 

 in that specimen. From the roundness of this specimen in its cir- 

 cumference, and from the difference of its character, I am led to 

 suspect that it may have belonged to the small Hippopotamus, which, as 

 will be presently observed, was discovered by Cuvier, and which is only 

 as yet known in a fossil state." — Organic Remains, vol. iii. p. 376. 

 The characters cited by the author are explicable on the immaturity of 

 the specimen.
