Tongue-bars, like those occurring in the gill-slits of Amphioxus, are only known otherwise to occur in the remarkable worm-like creature, Balntioglossits. In the higher Vertebrates they appear to be entirely absent, but in the course of the development of the higher forms there is a structure which arises from the dorsal wall of the gill-slits which may very well be the homologue <.)f the tongue-bars of Amphioxus.
