produced to form a beak just like that of a duck in appearance: hence the name of " Duck-billed animal, " often applied to it. The margins of the jaw are sheathed with horn, and are fur- nished with transverse horny plates, two in each jaw (fig. 357, B and C) : but there are no true teeth. The sternum (fig. 357, D) is of five... pieces, and there are sternal ribs. The nostrils are placed at the apex of the upper mandible. The legs are short, and the feet have five toes each, furnished with strong claws, which enable the animal to burrow with facility. The toes are also united by a membrane or web, so that the animal swims with great ease. The Ornithorhynchus is ex- clusively found in Australia, ranging as far north as Queens- land, and inhabits streams and ponds. Its food consists chiefly, if not exclusively, of insects, and the animal makes very extensive burrows in the banks of the rivers which it frequents.
