    PREFACE. The greater part of this treatise was written ten years ago, and was intended merely as a preface to certain observations on Dental Physiology upon which I was then engaged. The scope of these latter has widened to such an extent, that I have decided to publish these anatomical notes separately, otherwise the limits desirable in a text-book intended primarily for students would be exceeded. In the descriptions of the teeth considerable restraint has been exercised, my desire being to indicate as briefly as possible their essential features rather than to demonstrate with poly- syllabic phraseology to what extent the subject can be elaborated. Photographs were originally prepared to illus- trate the teeth, but these were rejected in favour of the outline drawing's, because the student is strongly advised to obtain actual teeth to compare with the descriptions ; and if he does this he will find the outline drawings more helpful than photographs.
