tooth in every way and was re

The largest has an enlargement
of the roots that makes it about
three times as large as it should
be. Others in the museum have
twisted roots, extra parts, and
other pea " "rities that make them
different tivm normal parts of the

Dean G. A. Grubb, of the dental
college has been collecting these
specimens for the college for sev
