outer margin. The tongue {t) lies on the floor of the mouth 

 to which it is attached below, its anterior, rounded end 

 being free ; the surface of its posterior part is elevated, and 

 elsewhere — but more particularly on the tip — its covering 

 of mucous membrane is produced into minute, finger- 

 shaped papillce, on which some of the microscopic organs 

 of taste are situated (compare p. i8o). Taste-organs are also 

 present on a pair of ciraimvallate papilla on the dorsal side 

 of the tongue towards its posterior end, ahd on a pair of 

 transversely ridged areas — the foliate papilla, situated 

 laterally, slightly anterior to the- former. The main 

 substance of the tongue is composed of muscles, some 

 extrinsic — i.e. arising from other parts, and others in- 

 trinsic — i.e. entirely confined to the organ in question. 



'Y\ve,teeth (Figs. 122 and 123), as we have seen, are not all 

 a;like, as in the dogfish and frog : there are incisors and cheek- 

 teeth or grinders, the latter being divisible into two series — 

 the premolars and the molars. In most Mammals there is 

 also a pair of canine teeth, situated between the incisors and 

 premolars, and these are especially long and pointed in such 

 carnivorous animals as the dog and cat. In the dogfish 

 and frog, again, the teeth are continually renewed as they
