34 THE MYOLOGY OF THE RAVEN. 



Eeferrino; aaain to Professor Gadow's estimable work 

 in Broun's Klassen des Thier-Reichs (vi. Band, pp. 

 307-317), we find that lie has described and proposed 

 tlie following nomenclature for the muscles of the lingual 

 apparatus in birds. In presenting this I refer to the 

 plates of this writer, although his figures are not here 

 reproduced. It will be observed that he has bestowed 

 very diff"erent names upon the muscles as compared with 

 Owen's nomenclature, the authority at my hand when 

 the present volume was written.

" Ein echter, an das bei den Eeptilien allgemeine urppriingliche 

 Verhalten anschliessender M. sterno-hyoideus ist noch bei Ajjteryx

 Unterfliiche des Thyreoid-Knorpels des oberen Kehlkopfes und vom 

 ganzen Innenrande der Zungenbeinhorner. Seine Fasern sind
