Upper labial cartilage. represented by a single or paired cartilage, the upper labial, loosely attached to the diverging anterior pro- cesses of the cranium, which supports the upper horny beak; and to this corresponds a pair of cartilages, the lower labials, ultimately the mento-Meckelian or symphysial bones, supporting the lower beak and attached to the short mandibular or Meckelian cartilage. In the transformation of the mouth this mandibular cartilage acquires a greater length, and the suspensorium becomes reduced in proportion and shifted Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Boulenger, George Albert, 1858-1937.
