 Krah. The male of this species has a labyrinth at the end of the 

 trachea, of the size of the tip of a finger; in shape nearly oval ; it

 flattened on one side, to admit of the insertion of the usual muscles ; 

 at the upper part, on the side next the breast, it is also flattened ; 

 and from thence the two bronchia? take rise.
