In Sirenia the lungs resemble in shape and position those ofC/ielone, but are loosely suspended at theback part of an elongated thorax, definedby an oblique diaphragm from the abdo-men. This resemblance is further exem-plified in the shortness of the trachea,the completeness of its cartilaginousrings, the length of the bronchi, and theextent to which their cartilages are con-tinued into the substance of the
