pads are shaped like prominent blunted triangles, with their apices 

 directed forwards; they are 3| inches deep behind, where they are 

 lost on the fauces, and they are about 9 inches long. The epithelium

 p, soft palate, embracing the root of the tongue ; epig, epiglottis. 



The tongue is elongate, and in shape much like that of the Rumi- 

 nants, being thin from above downwards in front, and deep behind, 

 with a somewhat sudden transition from one to the other. From the 

 apex to the posterior of the circumvallate papillae is 1 5 inches, and 

 from the epiglottis to the same papillae is 2f inches. In the middle 

 of the anterior thin portion the breadth is 2| inches, and in the middle 

 of the posterior moiety it is 4| inches. 



There are many circumvallate papillae, 33 on one side and 26 on 

 the other, forming two clusters separated by a smooth median longi- 

 tudinal line. Each cluster is triangular in shape ; and the two acute-

 directed backwards. The individual papillae which go to form them
