Z. S. 1867. THE SKELETON IN BIRDS. THE SKULL. 335 from the rostrum. Huxley uses the term Dromaeognathous to describe this condition. In all other Carinatae the vomers are narrow behind, and the palatines and pterygoids converge posteriorly and articulate largely with the rostrum. Three modifications of this condition are distinguished by Huxley, and termed Schizognathous, -flSgithognathous, and Desmo- gnathous. In the Schizognathae the vomers coalesce and form a narrow elongated bone, pointed i...n front, separating the maxillo-palatine processes of the premaxillae. Waders, fowls, penguins, gulls, some falcons and eagles, American vultures, some herons and many owls have the Schizognathous arrange- ment. In pigeons and sandgrouse there is no vomer, but the other bones have the Schizognathous arrangement. In the . FlCgithognathae the arrangement is the same as in the Schizognathae, except that the vomers are truncated in front. Passeres, swifts, woodpeckers, humming birds, rollers, hoopoes have this arrangement.
