A*? Osseous part of tlie auditory tube Styloid process broken off Mandibular fossa Groove for membrana tympani External acoustic meatus Mastoid air-cells. Fig. 142. in the base of the petrous part, and envelop the posterior and lateral semi- circular canals. It is by ex- tension from this part that the mastoid process is ulti- mately developed. The styloid process, an inde- pendent development from the upper end of the carti- lage of the second visceral arch, is ossified from two centres. The upper or basal appears before birth, and rapidly unites with the petro- mastoid, the tympanic plate encircling it in front. This represents the tympanohyal of comparative anatonry. At birth, or subsequent to it, another centre appears in the cartilage below the above: this is the stylohyal. Anky- losis usually occurs in adult life between the tympanohyal and stylohyal, the union of the two constituting the so- called styloid process of human anatomy.

From this latter there is a downward and backward exten-.
