edge*. 
The tongue (fig. 2) is 43" long, narrowest (0"°8) at the middle, 
rather spatulate, widening to 1” near the front, and terminating by a 
rounded depressed apex. [n the anterior third there is a faint 
median depressed line. Posteriorly it presents the usual intermolar 
elevation.

Dorsal surface of tongue, natural size. 
Minute conical filiform papille cover the whole dorsal surface, 
except quite at the base. These are much larger and further apart 
on the posterior median elevation than elsewhere. Small, white, 
circular, fungiform papille are pretty regularly scattered over the 
surface ; and posteriorly, close to the lateral margin of the dorsum, 
* In the Pudu the ridges of the palate are more developed and more strongly 
toothed than in Moschus, and therefore more typically Cervine, but they are less 
regular than in the Roe.
