we therefore require a buck somewhat younger than that from which 

 the larynx shown to you was obtained. 



Wishing to obtain a more perfect specimen of the larynx of an 

 adult back, — during the past winter I have made every exertion to 

 obtain one but without success, — a small buck was sent to me from 

 Cumberland, which was dissected on the 27th January by Dr. 

 Sommers, Dr. Gilpin, and myself, some of its dimensions were, say 

 of Buck Calf 8 months old : —

A female calf, and an adult doe certainly not less than 6 

 years old, were put at my disposal by Mr. T. J. Egan, and dis- 

 sected February 19th. Of this calf the measurements were not 

 made, but those of the doe were as follows : —
