. The structure and classification of birds . Fig. 114.—Syrinx of Mgotheles Fig. 115.—Syrinx oe Batrachostomus (AriEE Beddard). (after Beddabd). first two bronchial rings are complete.

The final development ofthe bronchial syrinx is seen in Steatornis (see fig. 48, p. 69),where all the rings in front of the attachment of the intrinsicmuscles low down upon the bronchi are closed and completerings, as in Grotophaga. The tensor patagii shows certain differences: among thegoatsuckers. In the genera Caprirmd^iCs, Nyctidfomv,s, andChordeiles there is a biceps slip, absent in the rest. Ofthese three genera the arrangement of the tendon is shown GAPEIMUEGI 23? in-the annexed cut (fig. 116).
