To the first category belong the epibranchial muscles, the sub- spinales and interbasales, which lie in the dorsal part of the branchial region, while the coraco-arcuales are in the ventral or hypobranchial half. The most anterior of the circular group are those which open (digastric or depressor mandibulae) or close (adductors) the mouth, and the mylohyoid which extends between the two rami of the

Usually there are several adductors, known as masseter, tem- poralis, pterygoideus, accordingly as they have their origin from different parts of the skull. The longitudinal muscles are largely con- fined to small slips which pass from one arch to the next. In the amphibians these various muscles undergo considerable differentia- tion, while in the amniotes this is in part carried farther, in part is re- duced on account of the loss of branchial respiration and the degenera- tion of the parts connected with it. Hence the most noticeable of the visceral muscles are those connected with opening and closing the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance
