Abstract
IN my original paper I was at pains to point out that of a number of dental surgeons and anatomists to whom I had then showed this tooth, no two were agreed upon what its place was in the dental series. Since that time I have had many other views put to me in letters and also verbally. Clearly, the tooth is so aberrant there is little hope of agreement.
