Cutting-teeth g , deciduous ; canines j^j ; grinders t | ; premo-lars 3 - The premolars fall out; and their places are eventually filled by the molars, as the large molar is developed and gradually increased in length by the addition of a new plate to its hinder edge (see Blainv. Osteogr., Sus cethiopicus, t. 8). The whole series of teeth are never or very rarely to be seen developed at the same time, as the last molar is rarely apparent until the first two or three premolars have fallen out.
