(After Sir Joseph Fayrer.) 14 VENOMS sufficient to retain the prey and to cause it to pass from front torear towards the oesophagus, by a series of alternate antero-posteriormovements and analogous lateral ones. By means of these move-ments, which are participated in by the upper and lower maxillarybones, the palatines, mandibles or inter-maxillaries, and the ptery-goids, the animal in a manner draws itself over its prey like aglove, since the arrangement of its dentition does not admit ofmastication.
