Theidentity of the first bronchial ring was established by theinsertion of the intrinsic muscle, which was of the normaltype. If the syrinx of the Common Snipe (fig. 2) were contrastedwith that of the Jack Snipe on the one hand and that of theWoodcock (fig. 3) on the other, it would be found to holdan intermediate position between the two, in so far as theexpansion of the syringeal chamber was concerned; but thehindmost of the fused rings was wider than in either of thecontrasted forms, and was produced further backwards,giving a more pronounced V-shape to this end of the Vol. xxix.] 78.
