Lateral view. as it is sometimes the seat of calculi. To remove thetongue, cut the muscular attachments extending from thetongue to the lower jaw ; then divide the articulationof the hyoid bone at the styloid cornua. This is easilydone by inserting the hand along the side of the tongueand feeling for the flat styloid bone, which extends alongthe side of the tongue for the posterior two-thirds. Byplacing a knife against the inner surface of this boneand cutting toward oneself the knife will pass throughthe articulation without any trouble. Disarticula-tion having been accomplished, the knife shouldbe placed close to the inner surface of the submax-illary bone ; then, cutting toward the pharynx, di-vide the muscular attachments. As soon as themuscular attachments are divided far enough toadmit of it, take hold of the tip of the tongue andpull it through the submaxillary space. The masscan thereby be
