. Anniversary memoirs of the Boston society of natural history ; pub. in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Society's foundation. 1830-1880. Natural history; Indians of North America. 10 MINOT ON THE TONGUE fibres of which are longitudinal and attached anteriorly to the hyoid. None of the ntrinsic muscles have been, so far as I am aware, previously described, and the elon- gation of the .tongue itself has not been hitherto taken into account. My own observations upon the nerves which supply the tongue are fragmentary and unsatisfactory, as I have unfortunately been unable to obtain sufficient material for dissec- tion. I therefore reproduce the figure, cut 2, and description given by Bendz, the Danish ^ original being inaccessible to many readers. Bendz's account refers exclusively to the common snake, Tropidonotus natrix, of Europe. " The united nervus glossopharyngeus and vagus arise by three or four small roots from the sides of the medulla, and pass out together through a special opening of the skull. After it appears outside (of the cranium) it receives a small anastomising branch from the nervus communicans; a little below, it gives off a considerable branch, the largest part part of which is equivalent to the n. laryngeus sujje- rior, of the higher animals, but is perhaps at the same time the analogue of n. glossopharyngeus, although I have been unable to discover a ganglion, comparable to the g. petrosum. This branch runs, like all nerves in this region, because of the variability of the organs in volume and position, in manifold curves down over the Cut 2.
