Figure A is a bird of unknown age redrawn from Parker, 1875b. The series B, C, and D are drawn from specimens of a hatehling cardinal, a fledgling cardinal, and a post-fledgling, half-grown cardinal, respectively. Lateral flange. Those birds, such as the cardueline finches, which possess a lateral flange at the anterior end of the palatine, also lack a palatine process in the adult. Tordoff stated that the Carduelinae do not have a "palato-maxillary" (with the tacit assumption that it is also absent in the embryo) and are therefore related to the ploceid finches. However, Parker (1875b) shows a very distinct palatine process in the early embryo (five days) of the linnet (Fig. 7B) and Jollie (1958, p. 29) shows an equally distinct process in the house finch (Fig. 7C). Hence, the palatine process of the premaxilla is present in the embryo of the cardueline finches and becomes fused to the palatine during development. Ossification of the lateral flange starts at the pala- tine process as can be seen in Jollie's figure of the house finch (Fig. 7C)..
