When the whole quantities of the sterno- costo-vertebral circles suffer a dismemberment of their integral parts, then it is that special or diversified objects first appear — then it is that clavicles become special to coracoid bones, and both to ribs — then it is that the anatomists pursue, with special distinctions, fragmental plurality, and lose sight of the intelligible form of unity on the whole. Osteogenie is constant to the law of serial order. As rib follows rib in serial order—a cir- cumstance which indicates the homological cast of both—so rib, and coracoid, and clavicle, which take serial order, indicate by this same fact their own identity or homological relation. But the mammal's coracoid process is a part distinct from the bird's costiform coracoid bone. The former never takes place of the latter, but is a part proper to the scapula alone.* * Professor Owen's idea of the relationship of the mammal scapulary member and its coracoid element to the occipital vertebra, must imply that the cora- coid clavicle of the bird is (if the mammal coracoid process and the bird's coracoid bone be considered by him to be homologous parts) also referable to the occipital vertebra. This homological relation, I am bound to say, I could never discover; and if the asserted relationship between these parts shall be ever received as an opinion true to nature, the learned author is certainly the discoverer.
