The internal surface of the neck of the condyle gives at-tachment to the external pterygoid muscle; and the angle to the stylo-maxillary ligament. Developement.—By tiro centres ; one for each lateral half, the twosides meeting at the symphysis, where they become united. Thelower jaw is the earliest of the bones of the skeleton to exhibit ossi-fication, with the exception of the clavicle ; ossific union of the sym-physis takes place during the first year. Articulations.—With the glenoid fossa? of the two temporal bones,through the medium of a fibro-cartilage. Attachment of Muscles.—To fourteen pairs ; by the
