He secured Brigham's everlasting gratitude by making him a very handsome false set, and performing the same service for all of his favorite, but edentate wives. Several other apostles of the Lord owe to Mr. Fuller their ability to gnash their teeth against the Gentiles. The man who obtains ascendency over the mouths of the authorities cannot fail ere-long to get their ears.
A parallel case is, perhaps, to be found in the hairy armadillo, an extremely versatile and intelligent animal, although only an edentate.
No Australian type of Marsupial has been discovered in the Upper Eocene strata, nor any Edentate mammal.
"Our spoons are one of our indispensable possessions here. To lose one's spoon would be almost as serious as it is for an edentate person to lose his set of false teeth." During all this time the supply of seals and penguins, if not inexhaustible, was always sufficient for our needs.
No Australian type of Marsupial has been discovered in the Upper Eocene strata, nor any Edentate mammal.
Suddenly the tree-bole cracked it was tottering. I looked round, and saw that my cousin knelt directly in the path of its fall. I tried to call to him to move; but how could a poor edentate like myself articulate a word? I tried to catch his attention by signs he would not see.
We at last trace these diverging lines to a few very primitive, generalised, patriarchal groups, which in turn approach each other very closely in structure, and plainly suggest a common Cretaceous ancestor. Whether that common ancestor was an Edentate, an Insectivore, or Creodont, or something more primitive than them all, is disputed.
Abbott in the alluvial deposits of the Delaware and those recently announced in Nevada, prove the contemporaneity of men like ourselves with the great edentate and pachydermatous mammals, which were the most characteristic creatures of the American fauna.
The Glyptodon was a mailed edentate, eight feet long, resembling the little armadillo. These edentates survived from Tertiary times, and in the warmer stages of the Pleistocene ranged north as far as Ohio and Oregon. The great proboscidians of the Glacial epoch were about the size of modern elephants, and somewhat smaller than their ancestral species in the Pliocene.
This quadrumane without hands this edentate whose molars are preceded by magnificent canines this enigma of nature, created for the confusion and despair of all classification does, I must in all humility confess, completely upset the rule I laid down so stringently when speaking of the horse, as to the objects for which canine teeth were framed.
