Lungs polna the Duty of Ears.

The catfish uses his lungs as an or

comes closed sac filled with air and
commonly known as the swim blad-

clubs and most brook fishes, the air
bladder Is large and is connected by Il
slender tube, the remains of the trach-
ca. to the oesophagus. At its front Il
fits closely to the vertebral column
The anterior vertebrae are much en-.
larged, twisted together, and through
the passes chain of bones which con
meet with the hidden cavity of the air
The air bladder therefore assists tie
ear of the catfish as the tympanum
and its bones assist the ear of the
higher animals An ear of this sort can
carry little range of variety in sound
1t probably gives only the impression
of Jars or disturbances in the water.
