Dipnoi. — The small cartilaginous pelvic plate (Fig. 89) is provided with a long and delicate an- terior median, a short posterior median, and two pairs of lateral processes. Of the latter the anterior (prepubic processes) vary much in form and length, being much longer in Protopterus than in Ceratodus, and each is embedded in an intermuscular septum; with the posterior the skeleton of the free fin is articulated by means of an intermediate piece. The anterior unpaired process must be looked upon as an epipubic process, corresponding with that of Amphibians, Rep- tiles, and Mammals (pp. 113, 115, 121). Amphibia. — Urodela. — It will be seen by a glance at Fig. 87, D, that the ventral portion of the pelvic arch of Necturus is formed on the same plan as the pelvic plate of the Dipnoi and Crossopterygii, but, as in all Urodela and Amniota, it is perforated by the obturator nerve : this indicates a further lateral extension. Like the pelvis of all Vertebrates, it has a paired origin, and in Proteus and Amphiuma this is indi- cated by the fact that its. ITE Fig. 89.—V'suviaovProtopterus.
