He proposed naming them for the purpose of description in ac- cordance with their relation to the medical sucure and the incisive foramen, the suvural, pre-sutural ‘and post-sutural folds. He has found in man cer- tain pecuitarities in the ition of these folds which serve to distinguish tne left side from the Tight. For instance, on the left side there is a tendency for the sutural fold to be turned back, while on the right side it forms a union with the fold in front. He regarded the peculiarities of the left side to be to a physiological overgrowth owing Of the bone on that side. ‘The data based on an examination of the mouths of his patients did not, howorer, apply to those free from disease of irreg” ularity, ' He considered the study of these rugs be of unportance in comparative physiology. | In the lower animals theregs no variation in the two sides, and the rugwe are Constant in the different groups, Robert Louis Stevenson's Retreat.
