The latterbone, Avith the lateral and the occipital, forms a roof over the 240 DIPNOI jaw muscles. Now this squamosal is generally likened to that ofthe Amphibia, to which it bears a remarkable resemblance. Since,-in Ceratodus sturii (Teller [433]), it harbours the postorbital sensorycanal, it is probably the homologue of the pterotic (squamosal) ofthe hyostylic fishes.

The latter movement depends upon the drawing upward and outward of the tympanic pedicle. This action is performed chiefly by the muscle, levator tyrnpani, figs. 134 and 137, 24, which arises from the postfrontal and expands to be inserted into the epi- and pre-tympanics and into the ectopterygoid. In raising or drawing outward the tym- panic pedicle and attached part of the pterygoid, this muscle tends to dilate the Ijranchial cavity and the back part of

The orbit is bounded posteriorly by the post- orbital and the postfrontal, which include in the angle between them the quad- rangular squamosal. The orbit is especially remarkable for its size as compared with the dimen- sions of the skull, being without a parallel among other known Microsauria. Around the border of the orbit in the specimen Cope studied (105) there were found 14 quadrangular plates which he called &q

The postfrontal joins by its whole length with the parietal. Now, no one will question but that this arrangement of these bones is the primitive one for the reptilia, and any rear- rangement or readjustment must be a secondary result or spe- cialization. Among the higher forms, the nearest approach to this condi- tion is seen in the testudinate skull (Fig. 3), in which the bony roof still remains unpierced ; that

In order to know what name to apply to those spines, I studied that area from the evolutionary viewpoint. My observations concerning the postfrontal and postocular spines and related ones are recorded in figure 137. In that figure, a to f illustrates the most simple conditions found in scorpaenid fishes.
