TABLE 3. Basic statistic parameters of lengths in mm of lower teeth (p3-m3) of the different Deinogalerix species, as well as in Parasorex, Galerix, Schizogalerix, and Apulogalerix . The mean values of Apulogalerix are actually grand means (i.e., mean of the means) of six different populations. The ranges have been approximated to the decimal digit to make them comparable to those reported by Butler (1980) and Doukas (1986). N = number of specimens;  = mean values; σ = standard deviations. * Inferred from diagrams and figures. Raw data for Figure 7.1.
