AN INCISOR TOOTH EXTRACTED FROM THE 
PALATE OF AN OX. 
By M. Roche Lubin, Rodez (Aveyron). 
On the 14th of April 1837, I was requested by M. Bonhome, 
near Rhodez, to extract a tooth growing in the middle of the 
palate of his young bull. The curiosity of the thing made me 
hasten to comply with his request. The animal being conveniently 
secured, I removed the tooth in the usual way. A very consider- 
able hemorrhage followed the extraction of it, which was per- 
formed with some difficulty, on account of the tooth being firmly 
implanted in the palatine arch. It was situated at the middle of 
the mesian line, between the fifth alveola on the right side and the 
corresponding one on the left. It was precisely of the same cha- 
racter with the usual incisor tooth of the ox. 
This is, I believe, the only fact of the kind on record, the incisor 
teeth being wanting in the upper jaw of cattle.
