On the Gustatory Organs of Arctomys monax. 



By Fredebioe Tuckebman, Amherst, Mass. 



The tongue of Arctomys monax possesses several quite dis- 

 tinctive characters. It measures 60 mm in length, 20 mm in breadth, 

 and 16 mm in thickness, and is free from the floor of the mouth for 

 18 mm. The upper surface is soft and velvety to the touch and, at 

 its posterior part, slightly elevated. The anterior third of the dorsum 

 is deeply grooved, and the apex is bifid, as in Fiber zibethicus 

 and the Phocidae. The fungiform papillae resemble minute white 

 beads, and are distributed quite uniformly over the dorsal surface 

 and lateral margins of the tongue from the base to te tip. At the 

 posterior part of the dorsum, well back towards the base, are three 

 to five circumvallate papillae. They are arranged in a triangle, the 

 apex of the triangle being towards the epiglottis. The papillae foliatae 

 are about 8 mm long, and are marked at their upper inner border 

 by a fringe of conical papillae, the points of which turn inwards and 

 backwards. This fringe is continued for some distance on to the 

 inner side of the arcus glosso-palatinus.
