About the organs of voice and respiration I have, first, to mention the complete osseous disposition of the laryngeal cartilages ; se- condly, their small development; and thirdly, the bifurcated disposition of the epiglottis. All these points are proofs of imperfection, by which may also be explained the total want of voice in Stenops. The hyoid bone is different from the hyoid bone in the monkeys, and ap- proaches to that of the inferior Mammalia. Its body is a transverse arch, slender, and united at the two extremities with the two pairs of horns. The anterior horns ave composed of two distinct bones, of which the first is broad and flat, the second long and slender. The thyroid or posterior horns are broad and flat, and melting away with the basis of the bone, while the anterior have a free articulation. The hyoid with its horns has the form of a transversely inclined X, viz. X.
