An odontometric study of the deciduous teeth of 21 Liberian Negro children is reported. These data were obtained from dental casts alone. Statistical comparisons were made of the mesiodistal diameter alone with two American White populations and the three Japanese populations. Maxillary teeth, with the exception of the cuspids were larger in the Negro sample, while only the Negro mandibular molars were significantly wider. This situation resulted in an alteration of Negro maxillary tooth size order. Comparisons were made with other populations reported in the literature which led us to stress the fact that, as yet, no satisfactory sample of deciduous tooth measurements are available for any population. A discussion of tooth form differences stresses the point that teeth differ in both attributes of form, i.e., in shape as well as in size between the several major racial groups. The processes by which these shape differences are brought about were discussed and it was suggested that differing relative growth rates may well be one cause. An allometric analysis of fetal molar tooth growth showed, again, that a sharp interphase occurs in all teeth, with a subsequent decrease in specific growth rate. This interphase corresponds to the initiation of cuspal calcification
