VII.—Some Observations on the Development of the Nasal Capsule of the Chondrocranium in Camelus dromedarius
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 June 2012
Extract
Several investigators have contributed to our knowledge of the development of the chondrocranium in various mammals, amongst whom Decker (1883), Gaupp (1900), Noordenbos (1905), Fawcett (1905) and Voit (1909) are the most outstanding. No attempt has as yet been made to study the chondrocranium of the camel however, due without doubt to lack of suitable material.
Development of the nasal capsule in ungulates generally has been studied in detail only by a few workers. Strum (1937), for instance, investigated the fully developed chondrocranium of Bos, while Decker (1883) and Wincza (1896) give accounts of the primordial skull of Ovis only at a particular stage in development.
Accordingly, this investigation is an attempt to describe for the first time, as far as the author can determine, the nasal capsule of the chondrocranium in Camelus dromedarius.
