MAMMALS.—The shoulder girdle of the monotremes is strikingly like that of lizards, the coracoids acting as a brace between sternum and glenoid fossa, while the resemblance is strengthened by the presence of the episternum. This same large development of the coracoids occurs in the young of some marsupials, but in the adults, as in the rest of the mammals, the coracoid is greatly reduced, persisting only as a small projection, the coracoid process, anchylosed to the ventral end of the.
