640 ME. G. A. BOTTLEKGER ON ADDITIONS TO THE [Nov. 6, 



hyomaudibular has resulted from the loss of a suspensorial func- 

 tion. 



It is unfortunate that the remains of extinct Dipnoi do not 

 furnish any clue to the solution of this problem ; but it is highly 

 probable that the Dipnoi are derived from a stock in which the 

 hyomaudibular was as free from this suspensorial function as in the 

 modern representatives of the group.
