FIG 1 68. Diagram of the heart and branchial arches in Protopterus (one of the Dipno). 

 Position and lettering as in the preceding, pre.c., precaval vein, made up of right and left jugulairs, 

 subclavians, etc.; post.c., postcaval, made up of the cardinals, right and left. 



Questions on the figure. What are the chief differences between the con- 

 ditions here and in the preceding figures: (i) as to the heart: (2) as to arteries; (3) 

 as to veins; (4) as to lungs?

e.g., carotid gland; 



Questions on the figure. How does the heart differ from that of the Dipnoi? 

 How many branchial arches of the aorta are shown? What evidences can you 

 find by comparison that the pulmonary arch is derived from the 3d or 4th branchial ? 

 What evidences that the carotid and systemic are the first and second respectively ? 

 Compare with the table on page 343. Is there anything to indicate that the im-
