    4. 4. The first large grinder or double tooth in each jaw, the fangs of which are not fully formed. [It is owing to the early ap- pearance of these teeth beyond the tempora- ry grinders, that many persons are deceived, and suppose they have never shed all their double teeth.] 5. 5. The crown of the second large grinder, or double tooth, in each jaw, still deep in its socket, the formation of its fangs not having commenced. The subject was too young to allow of ex- hibiting the rudiments of the wisdom teeth, or third large grinders. These are formed still farther back than the others.
