The com- parable arrangement of the intramandi- bular canal and foramen in E. micropodia and living caecilians would seem to indi- cate similarities in vascular and neural dis- tribution. The intramandibular canal of E. micropodia was probably also occupied by a remnant of Meckel's cartilage, which is retained in Recent caecilians. All of the foregoing characteristics of the lower jaw, considered together, indi- cate that the overall pattern of caecilian masticatory adaptations had been estab-.
