7'he teetii, in the human subject, may be
defined distinct organs, of a long structure,
attached to the rna.xillary bones, and form
ed not only for the purpose ordividing and
comminuting the food preparatory to di

of languages, to determine to some evtent
the expres.>.ion of the features, and add dig
