Ovis) from getting at their nostrils, on the inner margin of which they lay their eggs, from whence the maggots make their way into the head, feeding in the maxillary and frontal sinuses on the mucilage there produced.
The teeth are widely spaced apart, and those in the skull extend some distance backward to the end of the maxillary bone.
The outer and hinder border of the nostril is made by another bone named the maxillary bone, which is usually much shorter than the premaxillary.
Hence there is a different proportion between the premaxillary and maxillary bones in the two groups of animals, which corresponds to the presence of a beak in a bird, and its absence in living reptiles.
When a separate antorbital vacuity exists, it is bordered by the maxillary bone in front, and by the malar bone behind.
This result is brought about by growth taking place, in the one case at the front margin of the maxillary bone so as to carry the nostril forward, and in the other case at the back margin of the premaxillary bone.

As the very remarkable maxillary palpi of that extraordinary Coleopterous genus Atractocerus seem not to have been so fully described as they deserve, I shall give here a minute detail of their composition.
These three genera appear really to have only six legs, since the pedipalps or maxillary legs are not armed with claws, while the real representatives of the legs, or three last pair, are so distinguished.

We determined the number of fangs and the number of maxillary teeth anterior to them and recorded the presence or absence of a diastema between the anterior fang and the maxillary tooth immediately preceding it.
Of the 10 maxillary characteristics studied, no variation was observed in number of fangs or angle of lateral flange.
Farther posteriorly the maxillary decreases in size, and the pterygoid and posterior maxillary process diverge medially from it.
Posterior to the transition zone, the planum antorbitale disappears and the posterior maxillary process is restricted ventrally along the pars facialis of the maxillary.
