262 페이지 - ... in others as aids in locomotion, means of anchorage, instruments for uprooting or cutting down trees, or for transport and working of building materials ; they are characteristic of age and sex ; and in man they have secondary relations subservient to beauty and to speech. Teeth are always intimately related to the food and habits of the animal, and are therefore highly interesting to the physiologist : they form for the same reason important guides to the naturalist in the classification of...
275 페이지 - The bending of the dentine about it begins a little beyond the base of the tooth, where the poison-duct rests in a slight groove or longitudinal indentation on the convex side of the fang ; as it...
284 페이지 - From that time to the present there has been no intermission in the supply of ivory, furnished by the tusks of the extinct elephants of a former world.
224 페이지 - ... when suspended in the air, their bodies naturally fall into that position which throws the centre of gravity beneath the wings. The axis of motion being situated in a different place in the line of the body when walking, from that which is used when flying, the discrepancy requires to be compensated by some means in all birds, in order to enable them to perform flight with ease. Raptorial birds take a horizontal position when suspended in the air, and the compensating power consists in their...
198 페이지 - It is true the serpent has no limbs, yet it can outclimb the monkey, outswim the fish, outleap the jerboa, and, suddenly loosing the close coils of its crouching spiral, it can spring into the air and seize the bird upon the wing...

274 페이지 - Lacertians, to the above-cited remarkable extinct edentulous genus of the new red sandstone of Shropshire: but our interest rises almost to astonishment, when, in a Saurian skull, we find, superadded to the horn*clad mandibles of the Tortoise, a pair of tusks, borrowed as it were from the mammalian class, or rather foreshadowing a structure which, in the actual creation, is peculiar to certain members of the highest organised warm-blooded animals.
269 페이지 - In the sharks and rays the teeth are supported by the upper or lower jaws, as in most quadrupeds; but many other fishes have teeth growing from the roof of the mouth, from the surface of the tongue, from the bony hoop or arches supporting the gills, and some have them developed from the bone of the nose and the base of the skull.

When the fish dies, that is, when the fins cease to play, the belly turns upwards.
198 페이지 - As serpents move chiefly on the surface of the earth, their danger is greatest from pressure and blows from above ; all the joints are accordingly fashioned to resist yielding, and to sustain pressure in a vertical direction ; there is no natural undulation of the body upwards and downwards ; it is permitted only from side to side.
