and there Is but little motion possible be-
tween the bones OF the forearm.
''The beaver is interesting, since he pre-
sents two types of limbs fore and aft. His
fore limbs are generalized and used in
general locomotion and for grssping. The
hind limbs, or feet, are specialized for
swimming. The toes are longer and
stronger than in the fore limbs, and are
united by folds OF the skin, which create
a palmate surface, forming a paddle wher
the toes are spread for swimming. These
arrangements are those which make the
beaver a strong and fast swimmer, but also
make him very clumsy when trying to
walk The limbs OF the sea otter are sim
ilarly specialized for aquatic life Here
again the toes are long, of nearly equal
length and webbed. An expert swimmer,
II there ever was one, the sea otter cannot
walk on land, but effects locomotion by a
series OF short springs, the hind feet being

Whatever the sfour-limbed creature was
that ancestored us seventy million years
ago in the Ore-Cambrian seas, his descen-
dants were perfectly good amphibians,
with good fore limbs and hind limbs.
When they got tired of crawling they
arose on their four legs on the banks OF
the ancient seas to walk about and became
reptiles. ~
When these reptiles later became first
dinosaurs, the factories OF all future types
Of animal life began working night and
day. Think of the wonderfully varied
kinds of factories where animals we're
made these first dinosaurs set up! Some
busted themselves with animals that must

Adaptation for flying requires that a
limb must be light and at the same time
strong enough to support a large surface
OF membrane 1r feathers spread for fight.
Hence the wing bones Of birds of fight are
hollow, slender and long as against the
use of fore limbs for swimming. where the
bones must be solid, short and stout.
"The vulture has o highly specialized
fore limb adapted for rapid and powerful
flight, but fight only. Its wing has broad
sailing surface, being large in proportion
to the body, and long in proportion to it's
own width. OF its three digits, or fingers,
two are small and the three probably cor
respond to the third fourth and fifth fin
gers of the human hand.
Higher yet in specialization is the fore
limb of the monkey, primarily adapted to
grasping and climbing, The fingers are
long and somewhat curved, the first fin
ger, or thumb, being in slightly different
plane from the others, so that II may be
opposed to them in seizing objects with
firm hold. The bones of the forearm move
freely. enabling easy climbing.
