Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Fossil Mammalia, Vol. 4: In the British Museum (Natural History) Cromwell Road, S. W., Containing the Order Ungulata, Proboscidea The specialization of the cheek-teeth in the higher members of the Proboscidea has followed to a considerable extent a line analo gous to that obtaining in the Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla, and shows itself in the increased height and complexity of the crowns of these teeth, and in the final attainment of a nearly horizontal and continuous plane of wear. From the structure of the cheek teeth in the more generalized members of the suborder, it may be inferred that the action of the molars of one jaw upon those of the other must have been mainly a scissor-like or snapping one, while in the more specialized forms this action has been converted into a perfect grinding motion.
