Ttie marginal rib is separated by a deep groove from the radiating ribs, which is contintuous with the grooves between the latter. The ribs are of irregular diameter and not perfectly straight; they are interrupted by weak transverse ridges which project beyond the margins. The ridges rises abrtuptly from their common base and are separated distally by notches of the margain.

Measurements. M.
Long diameter of dental surface .011

There are six ridges in the length.
