Show in what way the form of a molar tooth is well adapted to the purpose for which it is used. How is the utility of the molar still further increasedby the movements of the lower jaw ? 5. Describe the arrangement of the teeth in a child of about six years. 6. Describe the arrangement of the different kinds of teeth in the jaws of an adult, giving also the number of each kind. 7. Describe fully the structu

The Antelopes form a very extensive group, closely re- sembling the true Deer, but distinguished by the possession of hollow horns, in place of solid antlers. Most of the Ante- lopes are African, and there are only two European forms (the Chamois being one), while America possesses only the Prong- buck [Antilope furcifer). Among the

They are the outcome of very im- portant physiological processes, but they are not them- selves of use; and the same is probably true of the reds and other bright hues of many abyssal animals. Another general problem—the most general of all—is raised by the fact that many Deep-Sea animals are quite closely related to shore animals, with essentially the. Fig. 32.—Two Deep-Sea Fishes. L,
