other parts of the axial skeleton. Directly below 

 the nasal bone find the palatine bone. "What 

 is its shape ? Relation to the sphenethmoid ? To 

 the maxilla ? What is the direction of the pala- 

 tine bone with regard to the cranial axis ? In 

 front of the palatines find the vomers. Ex- 

 amine their shape, structure, and articulations. 

 Study the position and structure of the vomer- 

 ine teeth. 



Study the position, shape, structure, and at- 

 tachments of the hyoid apparatus. If the 

 parts are not found on the prepared skeleton, 

 they may be dissected out on an alcoholic speci- 

 men. 



Examine a vertical longitudinal section of the 

 skull, made a little to one side of the median line, 

 and note the position of the various parts. Note 

 especially the septum nasi, which separates the 

 nasal chambers, and the foramen, through which 

 the first cranial or olfactory nerve passes. 



Review all of the bones of the skull, making a 

 list of those which enclose the cranial cavity, the 

 auditory capsule, and the olfactory capsule. Make 

 also a list of those which form the jaws. 



The pectoral girdle. — What is its position ? Is it 

 a complete girdle? How is it attached to the 

 axial skeleton ? Notice that each half of it can 

 be divided into two portions, the scapular por- 

 tion, extending dorsally from the shoulder-joint, 

 and the coracoid portion, extending ventrally. 

 Is the scapular portion of the right directly con- 

 nected with that of the left side ? Compare with 

 the coracoid portions. Examine the two parts of
