The Common Frog ^*

Abstract

IX.

THE muscles connected with the human lingual apparatus are sufficiently complex. One such muscle—the stylohyoid—passes down wards on each side, from a process of the base of the skull to the corniculum of the os-hyoides or tongue-bone. The tongue-bone of the frog is. as we have seen, relatively far greater than is that of man, and the same may be said for the muscles attached to it, since we have no less than four muscles descending from the skull, and implanted into it, on each side.
