Abstract
IN a paper “On Dental Encrustations and the Socalled ‘Gold-plating’ of Sheep's Teeth,” published in the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales (August 25, 1920), Mr. Thos. Steel gives an account of the so-called “gold-plating” and encrustations on the teeth of sheep and other animals. He states that the popular idea is so strong that the jaws of sheep are still taken from time to time to the Sydney Mint with the object of selling them for the gold supposed to be present.
