Description

Doran's observations have been made during the preparation of a series of the small ear bones of the higher Vertebrata for the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, an undertaking which was commenced in the autumn of 1874. Doran aims to demonstrate how far the characteristics of the auditory ossicles of the Mammalia accord with those distinctions throughout the whole organisation which have assisted anatomists in giving a definite position to each member of the class.

Annotations in ink throughout. Includes seven plates of figures of the auditory ossicles of various mammals.

Subject: Anatomy / Osteology / Otology

Received 5 May 1876. Read 15 June 1876. Communicated by W H [William Henry] Flower.

Whilst the Royal Society declined to publish this paper in full, an abstract of the paper was published in volume 25 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society as 'On the comparative anatomy of the auditory ossicles of the mammalia'.
