Abstract
PROF. H. F. OSBORN, in the American Naturalist for June, gives an account of recent researches upon the sucsion of the teeth in mammals. He says:— “The recent studies of Kükenthal, Röse, and Taeker in the discovery of the complete double or milk dentition in the Marsupials, and in the discussion of its relation to that of the reptiles, also in the ontogenesis of the crowns of the teeth among the Cetaceans, Edentate?, Primates, and Ungulates are of the greatest interest and importance. They involve a complete revolution in our ideas as to the interpretation of the dentition in the three orders first mentioned above.”
