Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Osteology of Some of the Loricati Vomer. - The vomer (fig. 1) is the anterior bone of the skull and caps the cartilage from the ends of the ethmoid and the prefrontals. It possesses both dorsal and ventral processes. The dorsal and anterior one passes upward and posteriorly and articulates with the ethmoid and prefrontals. The ventral process forms a part of the ventral surface; it passes posteriorly and gradually tapers to a point in the parasphenoid. A V - shaped slit is present in the dorsal process and forms a trough-like cavity with the ventral process, allowing the cartilaginous portion of the ethmoid to pass into it. The anterior edge is broad V-shaped in the median line and rounded from the median portion laterad forming a large expansion at each side. Two kinds of teeth are present on the vomer; an inner row of large canine-shaped ones and an outer row of the villiform variety in which the teeth are irregularly arranged. Both kinds are slightly curved caudad and are placed in sockets. The maxilla and premaxillary both articulate just above the vomer and cover it entirely.
