The outer branchexhibits on its outer face a much stouter cartilaginous axis whichexpands distally, but does not reach the extremity. The inner IV. 08. 8 and superior part of the branch and the club-headed extremityare clad with shagreen, rather deeply grooved on the apposingsurface, and considerably convoluted at the extremity.
