"Can you tell me if what you encountered was of the species, ursus horribilis with the ears, rounded front, arquated eyes destitute of the remarkable supplemental lid with six incisores, one false, and four perfect molares " "Trapper, go on, for we are engaged in reasonable discourse," interrupted Ishmael; "you believe we shall see more of the robbers."
The next most frequent or most powerful efforts, which infants are first tempted to produce, are those with the muscles in biting hard substances; indeed the exertion of these muscles is very powerful in common mastication, as appears from the pain we receive, if a bit of bone is unexpectedly found amongst our softer food; and further appears from their acting to so great mechanical disadvantage, particularly when we bite with the incisores, or canine teeth; which are first formed, and thence are first used to violent exertion.
The incisores are thick and round, not, as usual, flattened into edges, but resembling truncated cones; the cuspidati are not pointed, but broad and flat on the masticating surface, like the neighbouring bicuspides. This may be attributable to mechanical attrition, depending on the nature of the food which the teeth are employed in masticating.
Hetty, hast thou forgotten who appeased thine anguish when thy auricular nerves were tortured by the colds and damps of the naked earth! and thou, Phoebe, ungrateful and forgetful Phoebe! but for this very arm, which you would prostrate with an endless paralysis, thy incisores would still be giving thee pain and sorrow!
"It is as true as that nature never refuses to bestow her incisores on the animals, mammalia; genus, homo " "It is very marvellous! and it proves how great He must be, when His miserable creatur's can accomplish such wonders! Many men must have been needed to finish such an edifice; ay, and men gifted with strength and skill too! Does the land abound with such a race to this hour?" "Far from it.
"You were saying, friend, that you have many ways of telling the creatur'?" observed the attentive trapper. "Many; many and infallible. Now, the animals that are carnivorous are known by their incisores." "Their what?" demanded the trapper. "The teeth with which nature has furnished them for defence, and in order to tear their food. Again "
