text: If the limbs of Ceratodus may be taken as a pattern of an ichthyopterygium there has been a secular shortening of some, and suppression of other, axial parts or internodes: thus we get the shortened radiating fan-shaped limb—the propert cheiropterygium; that, in turn, had to be transformed into the avian fore limb or wing .
