Ill nificant and vestigial uvula, ti, Fig. 4) lies flat upon thetongue, and embraces the upper surface of the same at theroot of the epiglottis, in such a manner as to cut off allcommunication between the mouth and pharynx exceptduring deglutition. The enormous epiglottis is backwardlyextended so as to almost surround the aditus laryngis. Itstands high up above the level of the arytsenoids, and itsfree border is curled over antero-laterally, whereby itsactual apex comes to look downwards and forwards {cf. fig.).An essentially similar condition of the parts is seen in.

References as for Fig. i. the six-months pig (Fig. 2), except that the epiglottis is,in it, relatively shorter than in the adult, whereby thearytaenoids, a, are more fully exposed. The arrangementof the parts is such as would tend to prevent the liquidfood, upon which the animal, up to this period, almostentirely lives, from, either regurgitating into the nostrils orwelling over into the larynx. In front of the palate themucous membrane at the base of the tongue lies in large 112 COMPARATIVE ANATOMY. loose folds, such as would permit of a great distension ofthat portion of the buccal cavity during the passage offood ; and the parts generally are, in fact, so disposed andmodified as to ensure the transmission of the food alongthe sinus pyriformis, round the epiglottis, into theoesophagus.
