clefts, except between (c) and (<?). The tooth is supported by two fangs, which in form

§ 4. Measurements. — The following tables of measurement in inches show the amount 

 of variation in size of the teeth of Felis spelcea. Some are very much larger than any of 

 those of the lion of modern times, while others are as small as those of the smallest recent 

 lioness. Leonine, spelsean, and tigrine teeth form a graduated series, in which there 

 are no valid points of specific difference.
