. Bonner zoologische Beiträge : Herausgeber: Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn. Biology; Zoology. Heft 1—3 29/1978 Passerine Finches 131 Morphology of the tongue of Montiiringilla was identical in all important aspects to that of Passer (Fig. 2). The preglossale of Passer articulates with the paraglossale. A portion of the M. hg. anterior can be seen between the two bones. The thick seed-cup with its dermal papillae and sensory corpuscles lies dorsal to the preglossale. Mucous salivary glands lie dorsal to the paraglossale and posterior to the seed-cup. Note that the anterior tip of the paraglossale ends well dorsal in the corneous tongue; it does not terminate close to the ventral surface of the tongue. The M. genio- glossus which originates from the mandibular symphysis, divides into two slips just before its insertion onto the posterior end of the paraglossale and into the mucosa dorsal to the other jaw muscle in the area slightly anterior to the Fig. 3: The tongue of Dinemellia seen in lateral view. Ploceidae ¡ Bubalornithinae: We were able to examine both Bubalor- nis and Dinemellia which are similar in the morphology of their tongue; the following description is based on Dinemellia (Fig. 3). The paraglossale is large with a bulbous anterior body that extends to the ventral surface of the tongue; the two paraglossalia meet at their anterior ends. A thick epidermal pad of the seed-cup overlies the paraglossalia. It was not possible to determine with certainty the arrangement of dermal papillae and sensory organs in the epidermal pad in most of these preparations as we worked on the gross morphological level. We will not consider this aspect of the tongue morphology, but defer to the work of Ziswiler and his students (in litt). The M. hg. anterior is absent and no sign of a preglossale exists. The M. genioglossus divides into two slips that insert onto the posterior tip of the paraglossale and into the dorsal mucosa.
