In Amphibia the clear fibres usually predominate ; the throat muscles of batracbians are, however, an exception. Knoll also found a considerable develop- ment of sarcoplasm in the jaw muscles of reptiles, and the limb muscles of Lacerta and Cistudo. In birds, on the other hand, the dark, plasmic fibres prevail, and constitute the pectoral muscles used in flight. In the
