We present point contact tunneling spectroscopy measured on TlBa2Ca2Cu3O10-δ (Tl1223) with three CuO2 planes in a unit cell. Our samples of Tl1223 with Tc~91K are heavily overdoped at the outer CuO2 planes (OP), but slightly underdoped at the inner CuO2 planes (IP). The tunneling conductances on Tl1223 exhibit two kinds of gaps that originate from crystallographically inequivalent IP and OP. The overall spectral shape of tunneling conductance for Tl1223 is consistent with that observed on a bilayer Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ, that is, unusual peak-dip-hump (PDH) structures are observed. The origin of PDH structures is controversial, but these results, especially, the observation of PDH for trilayer Tl1223 in which interlayer effects should be quite different from that in bilayer, put severe constraints on any theoretical model for the origin of these structures.
