MANDIBULOHYOID CONNECTION IN CIRRHITOID FISHES 



101 



untidy manuscript into a legible typescript. Anthea Ribbink, who 

 also displayed those attributes when producing the anatomical fig- 

 ures, deserves my deepest gratitude for her essential contributions to 

 this paper. By no means least of all, I am indebted to Drs Mark 

 Westneat and Rick Winterbottom for their very constructive com- 

 ments on an earlier draft of the paper.
