Cat's Teeth

Abstract

I HAVE in my collection the skull of a cat, which has the peculiarity of possessing an extra molar tooth on the left maxilla; this tooth is tricuspid, and is situated between the last premolar and the carnassial tooth, on their interior side, so that it does not disturb their normal position. Will some of your readers inform me whether this is not very unusual? and whether from its position it does not overthrow Professor Owen's theory, that the two premolars are respectively third and fourth?
