“Modifications of the Lower Sectorial Tooth in Carnivora. I, Felis; II, Cunis; III, Herpestes; IV, Lutra; V, Meles; VI, Ursus. 1, anterior lobe of blade; 2, posterior lobe of blade; 3, inner tubercle; 4, heel. It will be seen that the relative size of the two roots varies according to the development of the portion of the crown they have respectively to support.” —The Encyclopedia Britannica, 1903
