In a former communication I applied the cranial, mandibular, and dental characters of the existing species of Wombat to the determination of the fossil species resembling them in size; in the present are given the results of an easier task, viz. the determination of extinct Wombats of markedly superior size to any now living; and I shall describe the fossils as the species they represent progressively predominate in bulk. 1. Phascolomys medius , Ow. —This species is represented by a lower jaw, fractured at both ends, presented by Sir Charles Nicholson, Bart., to the Geological Society of London; also by the fore part of the upper jaw of two individuals and by the right ramus, fractured at both ends, of the lower jaw, obtained by Edward S. Hill, Esq., from freshwater deposits exposed in the bed of a tributary of the Condamine River, at Eton Vale, Queensland: the latter were submitted to me in 1865, and have been liberally presented, with other Queensland fossils, to the British Museum by Sir Daniel Cooper, Bart. All these fossils are in the usual heavy, petrified, rolled, and more or less mutilated condition of such remains from the above formation and locality.

Introduction: Sex determination is one of fi rst and most important steps in identifying disintegrated bodies and skeletal remains. During the exhumation of bodies from the mass graves and archaeologicalexcavations, it is quite often the case that not all bones of one person are found, therefore, teeth and the scull are the only true identifi cation material. Canines are teeth most appropriate for sex determination.The aim of the research was to determine sex identity of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian population based on odontometric characteristics of permanent lower canines.Methods: The research sample included 180 patients of the Dental Offi ce, of both sexes. All patients with permanent lower right and left canines, without caries, with healthy state of gingiva and periodontium,without crown restorations were included in the research. Measurement was done directly in the patients' mouth using a digital sliding caliper. Greatest mesiodistal width of the lower right and left canine and intercuspal distance of the lower jaw were measured.Results: All parameters were higher in case of male, including Mandibular Canine Index (MCI) (p<0.01). The precision of appraising the sex identity for the Bosnian-Herzegovinian population, based on MCI on the right, amounts 68.89% and 68.54% on the left.Conclusions: The study showed that right canines are signifi cantly broader than the left ones and they are broader in case of males. Lower right canines, that is, MCI on the right, indicates greater accuracy insex determination in relation to left lower canines. The accuracy in sex determination for all variables is higher for the female.

Towards the end of last autumn, one of my pupils, Mr William Stirling, B.Sc., requested me to determine some bones which had been found whilst sinking a new shaft for a pit in the Grangemouth coal-field. On examination, I found these bones to be the two halves of the lower jaw, a fragment of the upper jaw with some loose teeth, the right temporal bone, the atlas with fragments of other vertebræ, the glenoid part of the left scapula, the right astragalus and femur, and small fragments of other bones of the skeleton of a seal. The animal had not reached the adult state, for the epiphyses of the femur were not united to the shaft. The bones were imbedded in a stiff red clay.

In a letter dated May 8th, 1838, addressed to Sir Thomas Mitchell, F. G. S., Surveyor-General of Australia, giving results of an examination of a series of Fossil Remains from caves in ‘Wellington Valley,’ and published in his ‘Three Expeditions into the Interior of Eastern Australia,’ vol. ii. 8vo, 1838, one of the specimens was described as follows:— “Genus Diprotodon. I apply this name to the genus of Mammalia , represented by the anterior extremity of the right ramus, lower jaw, with a single large procumbent incisor (IX.), fig. 1, pl. 31. This is the specimen conjectured to have belonged to the Dugong, but the incisor resembles the corresponding tooth of the Wombat in its enamelled structure and position (see fig. 2, pl. 31, and a section of the Wombat’s teeth in fig. 7, pl. 30). It differs, however, in the quadrilateral figure of its transverse section, in which it corresponds with the inferior incisors of the Hippopotamus . To this Diprotodon , or to some distinct species of equal size, have belonged the fragments of bones of extremities marked X, X a , X b ” (p. 362).

In the present Part of the series of papers on the Fossil Mammals of Australia, the author enters upon the description and determination of the fossils referable to the family of Kangaroos (Macropodidæ), restricting, however, the latter term to the species in which the molar teeth have two transverse ridges for the chief character of their grinding-surface, and excluding the Potoroos (Hypsiprymnidæ), in which the working-surface of the molars is formed by four tubercles in two transverse pairs. The large extinct species of Kangaroo indicated under the names Macropus Titan , M. Atlas , and M. Anak in former publications (‘Mitchell’s Three Expeditions into the Interior of Eastern Australia,’ 2 vols. 8vo, 1838, Palæontological Appendix, vol. ii. p. 59, pis. 24-32 also ‘Proceedings of the Geological Society of London,’ vol. xv. p. 185, 1858) here receive further elucidation of their specific distinction from any known living Kangaroos and of the grounds (according to the value assigned thereto by present zoologists) for referring two of these ( M. Atlas and M. Anak ) to distinct subgenera of Macropodidæ.

The dentition of a Mammal so rare and interesting as the Macrauchenia deserves better illustrations than the single reduced view of the lower molars given in 1845, and the still more reduced figures of both upper and lower teeth lithographed by Bravard. The intention to communicate to the Koyal Society a description with figures of the natural size of the specimen of mandible and teeth, still unique, in the British Museum, has been deferred in the hope of acquiring from South America other fossil remains, especially the upper jaw and teeth of Macrauchenia patachonica , but such fossils have not yet come under my observation. The recently obtained knowledge, however, of the former existence of another large quadruped in America, with cameline characteristics of the cervical vertebrae like those in Macruhenia , coupled with true cameline affinities, as exemplified by the dentition of the lower jaw in Palauchenia , induces me no longer to delay the adequate record of the characters which so strikingly distinguish the perissodactyle from the artiodactyle forms of hoofed quadrupeds with the intraneural course of the vertebral arteries in the region of the neck.

Objective: Canina fossa abscesses are rarely reported in the literature. Tooth infection is often derived from bacteria associated with the abscess. Canina fossa abscesses can lead to the development of secondary abscesses, infection of incisors and canines in the upper jaw and maxillary sinusitis infection.Methods: Odontogenic infections can easily spread throughout the muscles and the face, which can cause abscesses mucolabial or accumulation of pus in the eyelid and face. Results: Patients experienced a history of pain and fever. Physical examination showed enlargement and swelling of the right cheek and panoramic radiographs appear radiolucent on the apex of tooth tip 13. Treatment included an intraoral drainage incision at the apex of the tooth 13 and continued administration of antibiotic therapy.Conclusion: Successful treatments require early recognition, determination of etiological factors, and appropriate medical and surgical management.

Choice of profession is a social phenomenon that every person has to face in life. Numerous studies convince us that not only the well-being of a person depends on the chosen work, but also his attitude to himself and life in general, therefore, the right and timely professional choice is very important. Research about factors of career self-determination of students of higher education institutions in Ukraine shows that self-determination is an important factor in the socialization of young person, and the factors that determine students' career choices become an actual problem of nowadays. The present study involved full-time and part-time students of Institute of Philology and Mass Communications of Open International University of Human Development "Ukraine" in order to examine the factors of career self-determination of students of higher education institutions (N=189). Diagnostic factors of career self-determination of students studying in the third and fourth year were carried out using the author's questionnaire. Processing of obtained data was carried out using the Excel 2010 program; factorial and comparative analysis were applied. Results of the study showed that initial stage of career self-determination falls down on the third and fourth studying year at the university, when an image of future career and career orientations begin to form. At the same time, the content of career self-determination in this period is contradictory and uncertain, therefore, the implementation of pedagogical support of this process among students is effective.

Primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL) accounts for the majority of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas. We report a 60-year-old womanwith PCFCL. She had a red nodule (25 × 25 mm) on the right side of the lower jaw. She was diagnosed with PCFCL by skin biopsy. And then, she was treated with radiation therapy (total 30.6 Gy), which completely eliminated the nodule. Our case suggests that radiation therapy may be a first choice for PCFCL patients with a solitary lesion or localized lesions.
