Abstract
This formula dates from Mivart (1867) and Dobson (1882) and has been more or less uncritically accepted since that time. However, it was early noted that in the lower jaw, small rudimentary teeth sometimes appear in the gap between the incisors and the premolars. Mivart (1867) noted that in one British Museum specimen a minute rudimentary tooth was found which he thought might represent the canine.Keywords
