POISONOUS SNAKES. 499 The Salenoglypli poisonous snakes may always be recog- nized by their broad, flattened heads, and usually short thick bodies. The poison gland of the rattlesnake (Pig. 443, a) is a modified salivary gland. The two fangs are modifications of maxillary teeth, each of which has been, so to speak, pressed flat, with the edges bent towards each other, and soldered together, so as to form a hollow cylinder open at both ends, the poison duct leading into the basal opening. "When the fangs strike into the flesh, the muscles c

While the sternum of the cassowaries and other struthious birds (RatitcB) is smooth, approaching that of reptiles, that of the higher living birds is keeled or carinate (Fig. 454, crs); hence these birds are called Cari- natm; to this keel and neighboring parts the muscles which raise and lower the wings are attached. The fore limbs of birds (Pig. 455) are greatly modified to form the framework of the wings. In spreading and closing the wings, the bones of the forearm slide along each other in a peculiar manner.
