Fig. 13. A deep dissection of the hyo-laryngeal region seen laterally. On the left 
moiety, that towards the observer, the mucous and subjacent tissues have 
been cut away, bringing several of the small muscles into sight. 
An arrow, partly in dotted line, denotes the floor of the pharynx, leading to the ceso- 
phagus, ; two other short arrows indicate the canal of the glottis to the trachea, 
cut short; A, arytenoid cartilage; ep, epiglottis; phv, pharyngeal valley and ridge; 
H.e, hyo-epiglottic muscle; Sqs, squamo-styloid; Ay, arytenoideus; Cap, crico-aryte- 
noideus posticus; Cal, crico-arytenoideus lateralis; Tar, thyro-arytenoideus; ic, 
inferior cornu of thyroid cartilage; /, thyro-hyoid ligament ; Zh, interhyoideus; sh, 
stylo-hyal bone. 
Fig. 14. Semidiagrammatic and much reduced sketch of the hyoidean arch, and the 
larynx from below, of the Pilot Whale. 
sh, stylohyal; ch, ceratohyal; 6h, basihyal; th, thyrohyal; J, the thyro-hyoid liga- 
ment, anterior et lateralis; 7, thyroid cartilage: the latter is placed between the 
body and right ala; 7.c, its inferior cornu; (*, cricoid cornu; tr, trachea. 
Fig. 15. Upper or pharyngeal surface of the same, and showing the oblique inclination 
of (ep and A) the aryteno-epiglottid projection; ¢, broad portion of cricoid 
cartilage ; 1 & ic, as in fig. 14. 
Fig. 16. An outline of the thyroid bones in profile. Letters as in fig. 14.

Figures 17-24 inclusive are a series of perpendicular sections of the dorsal fin, cut at 
points corresponding to the dotted lines, nos. 1-8, in fig. 25.

viz. 19 inches distant from its tip. 
Fig. 18. Another segment, nearer middle, 13 inches from point. 
Fig. 19. Another segment, 7-5 inches from tip: @, artery. 
Fig. 20. Another segment, 6°2 inches from tip. 
Fig. 21. Perpendicular section of the same fin, close to the posterior concavity, and 
4-5 inches in front of the hinder point of fin. 
Fig. 22. Section, free part of fin, 4 inches in advance of tip. 
Fig. 23. Another slice, 3-2 inches in advance of tip. 
Fig. 24. Another slice, 1-25 inch in advance of tip. 
Fig. 25. Miniature outline of the fin of the back, representing by numerals (1-8) and 
dotted lines the positions where the slices, figs. 17-24, have been cut from. 
Fig. 26. Skull of Globiocephalus melas, mandible attached. Also the right half of the 
great nasal protuberance, exhibiting its structure in mesial section and part 
of the narial passage and lower pouch. 
Bi, blubber ; fa, fibro-areolar glistening tissue; p, right premaxillary sinus, partially 
hidden by the fatty mass; arrow directed into blow-hole.
