MERZ</p> + + +<p>For some time many investigators have thought that the genus +<i>Zenaida</i>, which includes the White-winged and Zenaida doves, and +the genus <i>Zenaidura</i>, which includes the Mourning, Eared, and +Socorro doves (Peters, 1937:83-88), are closely related, perhaps +more closely than is indicated by separating the several species +into two genera. It is the purpose of this paper to report investigations +on the musculature of the jaw of doves with the hope that, +together with the results of other studies, the relationships of the +genera <i>Zenaida</i> and <i>Zenaidura</i> can be elucidated.</p> + + +<h2>METHODS AND MATERIALS</h2> + +<p>In order to determine in each species the normal pattern of musculature +of the jaws, heads of 13 specimens of doves were dissected (all material is in +the Museum of Natural History of The University of Kansas): White-winged +Doves (<i>Zenaida asiatica</i>), 40323, 40324, 40328, 40392, 40393; Zenaida Doves +(<i>Z. aurita</i>), 40399, 40400; Mourning Doves (<i>Zenaidura macroura</i>), 40326, +40394, 40395, 40396, 40397, 40398.</p> + +<p>Thirty-seven skulls from the collection of the Museum of Natural History +of The University of Kansas and two skulls from the United States National +Museum were measured. The measurements are on file in the Library of The +University of Kansas in a dissertation deposited there by me in 1963 in partial +fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Zoology. Specimens +used were: White-winged Doves, KU 19141, 19142, 19143, 19144, +19145, 19146, 19147, 23138, 23139, 24337, 24339, 24341, 23592, 23593, +24340, 31025, 31276; Mourning Doves, KU 14018, 14781, 15347, 15533, +15547, 15550, 15662, 15778, 15872, 16466, 17782, 17786, 17788, 17795, +19153, 19242, 20321, 21669, 22394, 22715; Eared Doves (<i>Zenaidura auriculata</i>), +USNM 227496, 318381. Additionally, the skulls of the Zenaida Doves +mentioned above were measured. All measurements were made with a dial +caliper and read to tenths of a millimeter.</p> + + +<h2>ACKNOWLEDGMENTS</h2> + +<p>My appreciation is extended to Professor Richard F. Johnston, who advised +me during the course of this study, and to Professors A. Byron Leonard and +Theodore H. Eaton for critically reading the manuscript.</p> + +<p>I would like also to acknowledge the assistance of Dr. Robert M. Mengel +and Mr. Jon C. Barlow for suggestions on procedure, and Mr. William C. +Stanley, who contributed specimens of Mourning Doves for study. Mr. Thomas<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_524" id="Page_524">[Pg 524]</a></span> +H. Swearingen offered considerable advice on production of drawings and +Professor E. Raymond Hall suggested the proper layout of the same and gave +editorial assistance otherwise, as also did Professor Johnston.</p> + + +<h2>MYOLOGY</h2> + +<p>The jaw musculature of doves is not an imposing system. The +eating habits impose no considerable stress on the muscles; the +mandibles are not used for crushing seeds, spearing, drilling, gaping, +or probing as are the mandibles of many other kinds of birds. +Doves use their mandibles to procure loose seeds and grains, which +constitute the major part of their diet (Leopold, 1943; Kiel and +Harris, 1956: 377; Knappen, 1938; Jackson, 1941), and to gather +twigs for construction of nests. Both activities require but limited +gripping action of mandibles. The crushing habit of a bird such as +the Hawfinch (<i>Coccothraustes coccothraustes</i>), on the other hand, +involves extremely powerful gripping (see, for example, Sims, +1955); the contrast is apparent in the development of the jaw musculature +in the two types. Consequently, it is not surprising to find a +relatively weak muscle mass in the jaw of doves, and because the +musculature is weak there are few pronounced osseous fossae, +cristae and tubercles. As a result, the bones, in addition to being +small in absolute size, are relatively weaker when compared to +skulls of birds having more distinctive feeding habits which require +more powerful musculature.</p> + +<p>The jaw muscles of the species dissected for this study are, in +gross form, nearly identical from one species to another. Thus, a +description of the pertinent myology of each species is unnecessary; +one basic description is hereby furnished, with remarks on the +variability observed between the species.</p> + +<p>The terminology adopted by me for the jaw musculature is in +boldfaced italic type. Synonyms are in italic type and are the +names most often used by several other writers.</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><b><i>M. pterygoideus ventralis</i></b>: part of Mm. pterygoidei, Gadow, 1891:323-325, +table 26, figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, and table 27, fig. 3—part of M. pterygoideus +internus, Shufeldt, 1890:20, figs. 3, 5, 6, 7 and 11—part of M. adductor +mandibulae internus, Edgeworth, 1935:58, figs. 605c and 607—part of +M. pterygoideus anterior, Adams, 1919:101, pl. 8, figs. 2 and 3.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. pterygoideus dorsalis:</i></b> part of Mm. pterygoidei, Gadow, 1891:323-325, +table 26, fig. 7 and table 27, figs. 1 and 3—part of M. pterygoideus +internus, Shufeldt, 1890:20—part of M. adductor mandibulae internus, +Edgeworth, 1935:58, fig. 605c—? part of M. pterygoideus anterior, +Adams, 1919:101, pl. 8, figs. 2 and 3.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. adductor mandibulae externus:</i></b> <i>a</i>) <b><i>pars superficialis:</i></b> parts 1 and 2 of +M. temporalis, Gadow, 1891:320-321—part of M. temporal, Shufeldt, +1890:16, figs. 5 and 7—part of M. adductor mandibulae externus, Edgeworth,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_525" id="Page_525">[Pg 525]</a></span> +1935:58-60—M. capiti-mandibularis medius and profundus, +Adams, 1919:101, pl. 8, fig. 1.</p> + +<p><i>b</i>) <b><i>pars medialis:</i></b> ? parts 1, 2 and 3 of M. temporalis, Gadow, 1891:320-322—part +of M. masseter and ? part of M. temporal, Shufeldt, 1890:16-18, +figs. 5, 6, 7 and 11—part of M. adductor mandibulae externus, +Edgeworth, 1935:58-60—M. capiti-mandibularis superficialis, first part, +Adams, 1919:100-101, pl. 8, fig. 1.</p> + +<p><i>c</i>) <b><i>pars profundus:</i></b> part 2 of M. temporalis, Gadow, 1891:321, table 27, +fig. 2—part of M. temporal and ? part of M. masseter, Shufeldt, 1890:16-18—part +of M. adductor mandibulae externus, Edgeworth, 1935:58-60—? +part of M. capiti-mandibularis medius and all of pars superficialis, +second part, Adams, 1919:100-101.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. pseudotemporalis profundus:</i></b> M. quadrato-maxillaris, Gadow, 1891:322-323—M. +pterygoideus externus, Shufeldt, 1890:20-21, figs. 3, 5 and +11—part of M. adductor mandibulae medius, Edgeworth, 1935:58-59—? +part of M. pterygoideus posterior, Adams, 1919:101, pl. 8, figs. 2 and 3.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. protractor pterygoidei:</i></b> part 4b of M. temporalis, Gadow, 1891: 322-323, +table 27, fig. 4—part of M. entotympanious, Shufeldt, 1890:19-20, +figs. 3 and 11—part of M. spheno-pterygo-quadratus, Edgeworth, 1935:57.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. depressor mandibulae:</i></b> M. digastricus s. depressor mandibulae, Gadow, +1891:318-319—M. biventer maxillae, Shufeldt, 1890:18-19, figs. 3, 4, +5, 6, 7 and 11.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. pseudotemporalis superficialis:</i></b> M. spheno-maxillaris, Gadow, 1891:323—part +of M. temporal, Shufeldt, 1890:16—part of M. pseudotemporalis, +Hofer, 1950:468-477—part of M. adductor mandibulae medius, Edgeworth, +1935:277.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. adductor mandibulae posterior:</i></b> ? part of M. temporal, Shufeldt, 1890:16—part +of M. adductor mandibulae medius, Edgeworth, 1935:58-59—? +part of M. pterygoideus posterior, Adams, 1919:101, pl. 8, figs. 2 and 3.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. protractor quadrati:</i></b> part 4a of M. temporalis, Gadow, 1891:322-323, +table 27, fig. 4—part of M. entotympanicus, Shufeldt, 1890:19-20, figs. 3 +and 11—part of M. spheno-pterygo-quadratus, Edgeworth, 1935:57.</p></div> + +<p>The terminology adopted by me is that of Lakjar (1926) except that the +divisions of <i>M. depressor mandibulae</i> are designated by the Latinized equivalents +of the names used by Rooth (1953:261-262).</p> + +<p><b><i>M. pterygoideus ventralis lateralis.</i></b>—The origin is fleshy and by aponeurosis +on the ventral side of the palatine anterior to the palatine fossa. The insertion +is fleshy on the ventromedial surface of the lower mandible and continues +along the anteromedial surface of the internal angular process to its distal tip. +A few fibers leave <i>pars lateralis</i> and insert on an aponeurosis which receives +also all the fibers of <i>M. pterygoideus dorsalis lateralis</i>. The latter fact may +have prompted Rooth (1953:257) to make the statement that the fibers +originating on the dorsal part of the palatine inserted more laterally than those +originating on the ventral side. Rooth worked with <i>Columba palumbus</i>, the +Woodpigeon, and his description concerned <i>M. adductor mandibulae internus +pterygoideus</i>, which is composed of <i>Mm. pterygoideus ventralis et dorsalis</i> +of Lakjar (1926). His assertion that ventral fibers, that is to say, fibers arising +on the ventral surface of the palatine, insert medially does not appear to be +completely true for doves.</p> + +<p>Aponeuroses cover most of the lower surface of the muscle and one or two +nerves extend into the substance of the muscle. The nerves run from the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_526" id="Page_526">[Pg 526]</a></span> +anterior edge of <i>M. pterygoideus dorsalis medialis</i> and farther posteriorly from +a separation in the muscle.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. pterygoideus ventralis medialis.</i></b>—The origin is by aponeurosis from +the ventral surface of the palatine and fleshy from the palatine fossa. The +aponeurosis is the same that gives origin to the fibers of <i>pars lateralis</i>. Part +of the aponeurosis becomes tendonlike in the middle of <i>M. pterygoideus ventralis</i> +and separates its two divisions. The insertion is fleshy on the lower +one-third of the anterior surface of the internal angular process of the lower +mandible, and by two tendons on the distal tip of that process. Many of the +fibers of <i>pars medialis</i> insert on the tendons. The fibers at their insertion are +not distinctly separate from those of <i>pars lateralis</i> and there is considerable +mingling of the fibers. Consequently, the medial part of <i>M. pterygoideus +ventralis</i> cannot be removed as a part distinct from the lateral part (figs. <a href="#figs1-2">1</a>, +<a href="#figs3-4">4</a>, <a href="#figs9-10">10</a>, <a href="#figs21-22">21</a> and <a href="#figs21-22">22</a>).</p> + +<p>Ordinarily <i>M. pterygoideus ventralis</i> does not cross the ventral edge of the +lower mandible, but in one white-wing the muscle was slightly expanded on +the right side and it could be seen in lateral view. The homologous muscle +in <i>Columba palumbus</i> apparently is consistently visible in lateral view. (See +Rooth, 1953, fig. 6.)</p> + +<p><b><i>M. pterygoideus dorsalis medialis.</i></b>—The origin is fleshy on the dorsolateral +surface of the palatine immediately anterior to the pterygoid and also on the +anterior, dorsolateral, posterior and ventromedial surfaces of the pterygoid. +The insertion is fleshy on the ventromedial surface of the lower mandible and +the anterior surface of the internal angular process immediately dorsal to the +insertion of <i>M. pterygoideus ventralis lateralis</i>.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. pterygoideus dorsalis lateralis.</i></b>—The origin is fleshy from the dorsolateral +surface of the palatine, anterior to the origin of <i>pars medialis</i> and the +insertion is by means of an aponeurosis on the medial surface of the lower +mandible, lateral to the insertion of <i>M. pterygoideus ventralis lateralis</i>. The +aponeurosis crosses the medial side of the insertion of <i>M. pterygoideus dorsalis +medialis</i>. The fibers run in a posteroventrolateral direction and insert on the +ventromedial side of the aponeurosis (figs. <a href="#figs1-2">1</a>, <a href="#figs5-8">6</a>, <a href="#figs5-8">8</a>, <a href="#figs9-10">9</a>, <a href="#figs13-14">13</a>-<a href="#figs21-22">22</a>).</p> + +<p>In one individual, a Mourning Dove, the origin of <i>pars lateralis</i> of <i>M. pterygoideus +dorsalis</i> extended to the pterygoid. With this one exception the +muscle was uniform throughout the several species.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. adductor mandibulae externus.</i></b>—This is the most complex muscle in +the jaw owing to its system of tendons and aponeuroses. Three divisions of +this muscle were described by Lakjar (1926:45-46) and the divisions appear +to be distinguishable in the doves, but there is no clear line of demarcation +for any of the parts and the following description is based upon my own attempts +to delineate the muscle.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. adductor mandibulae externus superficialis.</i></b>—The origin is fleshy from +the most lateral area of the temporal fossa. Dorsally the origin is bounded by +the base of the postorbital process and ventrally by the temporal process. The +fibers converge upon a tendon that passes beneath the postorbital ligament +and runs anteriorly among the fibers of <i>pars profundus</i>. The insertion is +tendinous on the dorsal surface of the lower mandible in common with the +dorsal aponeurosis of <i>pars profundus</i>. The insertion is immediately anterior<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_527" id="Page_527">[Pg 527]</a></span> +to the ventral aponeurosis of <i>pars profundus</i> near the medial edge of the +dorsal surface on a tubercle at the posterior end of the dorsal ridge of the +lower mandible.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. adductor mandibulae externus medialis.</i></b>—The origin is by a flat, heavy +tendon from the temporal process. The tendon is attached almost vertically +on the temporal process. It twists approximately 130° as it runs anteriorly, +and becomes a thin aponeurosis, which gives rise on its dorsal and ventral +surfaces to many fibers that insert in a fan-shaped area on the mandibular +fossa. Fibers from the dorsal and dorsomedial sides of the heavy tendon run +rostrad and insert on the ventral surface of the dorsal aponeurosis of <i>pars +profundus</i>. From the ventral surface the most posterior fibers converge on +an aponeurosis that inserts on a transverse crista on the dorsal surface of the +mandible immediately lateral to the ventral aponeurosis of <i>pars profundus</i> and +dorsal to the insertion of <b><i>M. adductor mandibulae posterior</i></b>. The more anterior +fibers insert fleshily on the mandibular fossa. The tendon of origin is +actually one with the ventral aponeurosis of <i>pars profundus</i>, which is situated +in a horizontal plane. The insertion is primarily a fleshy attachment on the +mandibular fossa. Some of the fibers that arise on the dorsomedial and +lateral surfaces of the tendon of origin attach to another tendon, which inserts +in the midline of the mandibular fossa on a small tubercle near the anterior +end. Also, there is insertion by an aponeurosis anterior to <i>M. adductor mandibular +posterior</i> as stated above. Fibers attach to the dorsal and ventral side +of the aponeurosis.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. adductor mandibulae externus profundus.</i></b>—The origin is fleshy from +the medial surface of the temporal fossa, the posterior wall of the orbit and +the otic process of the quadrate. The origin is bounded laterally by the +origin of <i>pars superficialis</i> and medially by the origin of <i>M. pseudotemporalis +superficialis</i>. Ventrally the muscle lies against its own ventral aponeurosis, +which originates on the posterior wall of the orbit immediately above the articulation +of the otic process of the quadrate, and which also receives many fibers +from the surface of the quadrate. The insertion is primarily by means of +two aponeuroses. The most dorsal aponeurosis inserts on a tubercle at the +posterior tip of the dorsal edge of the mandible. The lateral tendon of +<i>M. pseudotemporalis superficialis</i> converges with the aponeurosis. It is superficial +and there are no fibers on its dorsal surface. The ventral aponeurosis +inserts on a crista immediately below the insertion of the dorsal aponeurosis. +It receives fibers on its ventral surface from the otic process of the quadrate, +and on its dorsal surface gives rise to fibers that insert on the dorsal aponeurosis +(figs. <a href="#figs1-2">2</a>, <a href="#figs3-4">3</a>, <a href="#figs5-8">5</a>, <a href="#figs9-10">9</a>, <a href="#figs9-10">10</a>, <a href="#figs11-12">11</a>, <a href="#figs13-14">13</a>-<a href="#figs17-18">18</a>).</p> + +<p>The tendon of insertion of <i>pars medialis</i> of <i>M. adductor mandibulae externus</i> +does not become a superficial aponeurosis posteriorly in the Zenaida Dove as +it does in the Mourning and White-winged doves.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. pseudotemporalis profundus.</i></b>—The origin is fleshy from the medial and +partially from the dorsal surface of the lower mandible. The origin is almost +completely anterior to and partly dorsal and ventral to the medial (most +anterior) insertion of <i>M. pseudotemporalis superficialis</i>. The anterior margin +of the origin is at the point where the mandibular ramus of the trigeminal +nerve enters the mandible. Posteriorly the origin is bounded by the insertion<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_528" id="Page_528">[Pg 528]</a></span> +of <i>M. adductor mandibulae posterior</i>, and ventrally by a ridge that is situated +about halfway down the medial side of the mandible. The insertion is by +aponeurosis on the tip of the orbital process of the quadrate and fleshily on +the anterior surface of the same process. The aponeurosis extends about +three-fifths of the distance along the muscle and it is dorsal or superficial +to all of the fibers. Many fibers insert on the ventral side of the aponeurosis +(figs. <a href="#figs1-2">1</a>, <a href="#figs5-8">5</a>, <a href="#figs13-14">13</a>, <a href="#figs13-14">14</a>, <a href="#figs15-16">15</a>, <a href="#figs15-16">16</a>, <a href="#figs21-22">21</a> and <a href="#figs21-22">22</a>).</p> + +<p>This muscle is the most variable of all the jaw muscles. In the Mourning +Dove the muscle appears rather slender in dorsal view and in the White-winged +Dove has an enlarged lateral belly that gives the appearance of a +thicker muscle. In the Zenaida Dove <i>M. pseudotemporalis profundus</i> is intermediate +in shape between those of the other two species. This muscle will be +discussed in detail later.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. protractor pterygoidei.</i></b>—The origin is fleshy from the junction of the +sphenoidal rostrum and the interorbital septum.

The insertion is by means of an aponeurosis that bifurcates +at the point of contact with the mandibular ramus of the trigeminal nerve, +which is at the level of the orbital process of the quadrate (except in the +Mourning Dove where the division is more anterior), and which inserts as two +tendons on the dorsomedial edge of the lower mandible posterior to the +insertion of <i>M. pseudotemporalis profundus</i>. The lateral tendon is superficial +to the dorsomedial edge of <i>M. adductor mandibulae externus</i>, and converges +with the aponeurosis of <i>pars profundus</i> of that muscle and inserts with it on<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_529" id="Page_529">[Pg 529]</a></span> +a tubercle near the dorsomedial edge of the mandible anterior to the insertion +of <i>M. adductor mandibulae posterior</i> as mentioned before.

Part of <i>M. pseudotemporalis profundus</i> also lies ventral to +the medial tendon of <i>M. pseudotemporalis superficialis</i> and, in effect, the +tendon is imbedded in the substance of <i>M. pseudotemporalis profundus</i> as it +proceeds anteriorly. The trigeminal nerve leaves a slight impression on the +ventral surface of the muscle near its origin (figs. <a href="#figs1-2">1</a>, <a href="#figs3-4">3</a>, <a href="#figs11-12">11</a>, <a href="#figs13-14">13</a>, <a href="#figs13-14">14</a>, <a href="#figs15-16">15</a> and <a href="#figs15-16">16</a>).</p> + +<p><b><i>M. adductor mandibulae posterior.</i></b>—The origin is fleshy from the anterodorsal +and anterior surfaces of the quadrate body, from the anterodorsolateral, +medial and anterior surfaces of the orbital process of the quadrate. The +muscle also has an origin from the otic process of the quadrate, partly fleshy +and partly by a slight aponeurosis. The insertion is fleshy on the dorsal and +lateral surfaces of the mandible immediately anterior to the articulating +surface. This muscle also has extensive insertion on the medial side of the +lower mandible dorsal to the insertion of <i>M. pterygoideus dorsalis medialis</i> and +posterior to the origin of <i>M. pseudotemporalis profundus</i> (figs. <a href="#figs1-2">1</a>, <a href="#figs3-4">3</a>, <a href="#figs5-8">5</a>, <a href="#figs17-18">17</a>, +<a href="#figs17-18">18</a>, <a href="#figs19-20">19</a> and <a href="#figs19-20">20</a>).</p> + +<p>The fibers of <i>M. pseudotemporalis profundus</i> can be distinguished from +the fibers of <i>M. adductor mandibulae posterior</i> because the pterygoideus nerve +passes between the two (Lakjar, 1926:55).

But I could not justify +the inclusion of that aponeurosis as part of <i>M. adductor mandibulae posterior</i> +in the doves because none of the fibers of <i>M. adductor mandibulae posterior</i> +as I have described it were attached to that particular aponeurosis.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. protractor quadrati.</i></b>—The origin is fleshy from the posterior wall of +the orbit medial to the foramen of the trigeminal nerve and also medial to the +origin of <i>M. pseudotemporalis superficialis</i>.

The insertion is fleshy on the posteromedial edge of the body of the +quadrate and the orbital process of the quadrate and on the otic process of +the quadrate. The muscle also inserts on the ventromedial surface of the +orbital process of the quadrate and the adjacent area of the body of the +quadrate (figs. <a href="#figs5-8">5</a>, <a href="#figs5-8">7</a>, <a href="#figs9-10">9</a>, <a href="#figs11-12">11</a>, <a href="#figs13-14">13</a>-<a href="#figs17-18">18</a>).</p> + +<p><i>M. protractor quadrati</i> possesses many fibers that arise from <i>M. protractor +pterygoidei</i>. Consequently, it is difficult to determine the exact extent of the +origin or the insertion of either muscle.</p> + + +<h2>ACTION OF JAW MUSCLES</h2> + +<p><b><i>M. pterygoideus ventralis.</i></b>—Contraction of this muscle retracts the upper +mandible by moving the palatine posteriorly, and simultaneously adducts the +lower mandible.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. pterygoideus dorsalis.</i></b>—This muscle functions in essentially the same +manner as <i>M. pterygoideus ventralis</i>. The result of having a part of its origin +on the pterygoid as well as on the palatine is to facilitate retraction of the +upper mandible.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_530" id="Page_530">[Pg 530]</a></span></p> + +<p><b><i>M. adductor mandibulae.</i></b>—This is the chief adductor of the lower mandible +and the muscle functions solely in that capacity. In birds having great +crushing ability, this muscle is much larger and more powerful and the skull +is reinforced behind the quadrate in order to withstand the pressure of the +lower mandible against the quadrate during adduction (Sims, 1955:374 and +Bowman, 1961:219-222).</p> + +<p><b><i>M. pseudotemporalis profundus.</i></b>—With origin and insertion on highly +movable bones, this muscle, when it contracts, retracts the upper mandible +and adducts the lower mandible. Like the pterygoid muscles, this muscle, +by itself, would allow the bird to grasp objects by means of its mandibles. +However, <i>M. pseudotemporalis profundus</i> could produce a more powerful grip +because it takes origin farther anteriorly on the lower mandible.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. protractor pterygoidei.</i></b>—Contraction of <i>M. protractor pterygoidei</i> pulls +the pterygoid anteromedially and causes it to slide forward along the sphenoidal +rostrum. This action aids in protraction of the upper mandible.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. depressor mandibulae.</i></b>—The depressor of the lower mandible is the +sole muscle other than <i>M. geniohyoideus</i> involved in the function of abducting +the lower jaw of doves. Its size can be correlated especially well with feeding +habits of the bird. Other birds that force their closed mandibles into fruit, +wood or the earth and then forcibly open them, belong to groups possessing +enlarged depressors. Contraction of the muscle pulls the postarticular (retroarticular) +process upward with the resultant downward movement of that +part of the mandible which is anterior to the articulation. Since there is no +"gaping" in doves the muscle is only large enough to overcome the inherent +tone of the relaxed adductor muscles.</p> + +<p>In some non-passerine species as well as in certain passerines the muscle +also serves to raise the upper jaw by acting on the quadrate, which is capable +of rotating vertically on its otic process. Especially in the gapers, where +resistance is offered near the tip of the lower mandible, contraction of the +muscle pulls the entire mandible dorsad thus forcing the jugal and palatal struts +forward (Zusi, 1959:537-539). The action supplements that of <i>Mm. protractor +pterygoidei et quadrati</i> and is enhanced by anterior migration of the +origin of <i>M. depressor mandibulae</i>.</p> + +<p>There is no lifting action involved in contraction of the depressor muscle +in doves for two reasons—(A) the origin of the muscle is situated much too +far posteriorly on the skull, and, more important, (B) the quadrate is not +hinged for vertical movement. As will be discussed later, it moves only in +a horizontal plane.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. pseudotemporalis superficialis.</i></b>—Like <i>M. adductor mandibulae</i>, this +muscle performs only the one function of adducting the lower mandible, and +like <i>M. pseudotemporalis profundus</i> it is a synergist of that muscle.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. adductor mandibulae posterior.</i></b>—Although this muscle undoubtedly +acts as an adductor of the lower mandible, I believe that, because of its disadvantageous +insertion so near the articulation, its main function must be +concerned with firming the mandible against the quadrate. This is to say +that its function is partially that of a ligament.</p> + +<p><b><i>M. protractor quadrati.</i></b>—When <i>M. protractor quadrati</i> contracts, the quadrate +bone is swung medially. This action, as mentioned previously, results in<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_531" id="Page_531">[Pg 531]</a></span> +protraction of the upper jaw, and, as a consequence, its action supplements the +action of <i>M. protractor pterygoidei</i>.</p> + + +<h2>CRANIAL OSTEOLOGY</h2> + +<p>The ability of most birds to protract the upper mandible, and +the structure of the skull which enables them to do so are responsible +for common reference to the skull as "kinetic" (Beecher, 1951a:412; +Fisher, 1955:175). The movement is effected by muscular action +on a series of movable bones that exert their forward force on the +upper mandible, which in turn swings on a horizontal hinge, the +"naso-frontal hinge," at the base of the beak. The bone initiating +the movement is the quadrate, which is hinged posteriorly by its +otic process and which ordinarily swings up or down depending +on the muscle or muscles being contracted at any given moment. +The upward swing of the quadrate pushes the jugal bar, which is +attached to its lateral tip, along its longitudinal axis, in an anterodorsal +direction, and the force is transferred to the upper mandible, +which is thereby elevated. A synergetic mechanism is simultaneously +initiated by the same bone—the quadrate. Since the quadrate +body articulates with the pterygoid, the upward movement forces +the pterygoid to slide along a ridge in the ventral midline of the +cranium, the sphenoidal rostrum, thus pushing the palatine forward +and exerting an upward push on the upper mandible.</p> + +<p>In the columbids the quadrate has a bifurcated otic process that +functions as the hinge. The posterior tips of the forks are situated +almost vertically (one above the other) and the movement of the +quadrate is not so much up and down, or vertical, as it is horizontal +(fig. 12). When the quadrate moves medially the upper mandible +is protracted; a lateral movement results in retraction. There is a +slight, almost negligible, upward movement of the quadrate. The +movements of the various bony elements were observed on a skull +that had been made flexible by boiling in water for a minute as +suggested by Beecher (1951a:412).</p> + +<p>Also in the columbids the naso-frontal hinge is not constructed +in the same manner as it is in many other birds as there is not a +simple hinge across the entire base of the beak. In fact, there is +no true hinge at all in the area of the nasals, but those bones are +extremely thin and they bend or flex under pressure. Actually, +the hinge is double or divided. One part is on either side of the +nasals. The hinges are situated at the posterodorsal tips of two +thin processes of the maxillary bones and the appearance is not +unlike that of half a span of a suspension bridge having the hinges<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_532" id="Page_532">[Pg 532]</a></span> +at the tops of the towers. Several other species of birds share +this type of hinge construction with columbids.</p> + +<p>The movement of the lower jaw is, of course, the primary operation +involved in opening the mouth. The lower jaw possesses a +deep fossa at its posterior end, or on its posterodorsal surface, +which articulates with the body of the quadrate bone. The length +of that part of the mandible extending behind the articulation is +directly correlated with the resistance offered the mandible in +opening, since it is on the posterior extension that the depressor +of the lower mandible inserts. The larger the muscle the more +surface is needed for attachment. Also the added length of the +mandible posterior to the articulation serves as a lever in opening +the mandible, and the fulcrum is moved relatively farther forward.</p> + +<p>In birds lacking resistance to abduction of the lower mandible, as +in doves, it is nevertheless necessary for a slight postarticular +process to remain for the insertion of a small depressor muscle +which, as mentioned previously, is necessary to counteract the relaxed +adductor muscles of the lower jaw.</p> + +<p>There are many exceptions to the rule that birds have kinetic +skulls, and usually a secondary fusion and reinforcement of bones +around the hinge has limited or eliminated all movement. Sims +(1955) describes the Hawfinch's immobile upper jaw, which is +used as a powerful press in cracking the stones of fresh fruit. +Skulls of woodpeckers have been modified somewhat in the same +manner as a result of their foraging and nesting habits (Burt, 1930).</p> + +<p>The two most distantly related members of the genera under +investigation are the White-winged Dove, <i>Zenaida asiatica</i>, and the +Mourning Dove, <i>Zenaidura macroura</i>. They were chosen to demonstrate +differences and likenesses in proportions of members of the +genera.</p> + +<p>Ten measurements were taken on each skull, but simple observation +reveals that, in relation to total length of the skull, the beak of +the White-winged Dove is longer than that of the Mourning Dove. +Tip of upper mandible to base of beak averaged 48.6 and 42.9 +per cent of the total length of the skull in the White-winged Dove +and Mourning Dove, respectively. The position of the jugal bar +has remained about the same with respect to the cranial part of +the skull, and the entire cranial part of the skull is almost the same +shape in the species studied.</p> + +<p>Likewise, in the White-winged Dove the distance from the +anterior tip of the lower mandible to the anterior part of <i>M. adductor<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_533" id="Page_533">[Pg 533]</a></span> +mandibulae externus</i> is relatively longer in relation to the length +of the lower mandible than in the Mourning Dove. Finally, the +position of the jugal with respect to the naso-frontal hinge is about +the same in the two species.</p> + +<p>Measurements and calculations indicate that the longer beak of +the White-winged Dove as compared with the Mourning Dove is +a function of the beak itself, not of differences in other parts of the +skull. Measurements of skulls of Eared and Zenaida doves support +this view.</p> + + +<h2>OTHER MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES</h2> + +<p>In the species dissected, the only variable muscle that I consider +significant in revealing relationships is <i>M. pseudotemporalis profundus</i>. +It is markedly enlarged in the White-winged Dove in +relation to the homologous muscle in the Mourning Dove. The +muscle is enlarged in such a manner that a lateral expansion of its +mass is apparent in superficial or dorsal view (compare figures 15 +and 16). This, of course, indicates a muscle with powerful contraction, +which has been unable to enlarge its circumference symmetrically +because the eye is immediately dorsal to the muscle. +Therefore it has expanded laterally. Ventral expansion is blocked +by the presence of other muscles, and medially there is no surface +for the insertion of additional fibers on the orbital process of the +quadrate.</p> + +<p>The jaw musculature has been known for some time to be highly +adaptive (Beecher, 1951a and b, 1953; Bowman, 1961; Burt, 1930; +Engels, 1940 and Goodman and Fisher, 1962) and it would not be +unreasonable, I think, to expect the jaw muscles of closely related +species with similar habits to be similar. The beak of the White-winged +Dove is longer in proportion to the length and height of +the skull (exclusive of the beak) than is the beak of the Mourning +Dove. The lengthened beak is probably an adaptation for nectar-feeding, +which has been documented by McGregor, Alcorn and +Olin (1962:263-264) while investigating pollinating agents of the +Saguaro Cactus (<i>Cereus giganteus</i>), and by Gilman (1911:53) +who observed the birds thrusting their bills into the flowers of the +plant. Gilman indicated, however, that he could not be sure if +the birds were seeking insects, pollen, or nectar. In any event +the lengthened bill probably facilitates getting food by birds that +probe parts of flowers. Hensley (1954:202) noted that both +Mourning and White-winged doves were "exceptionally fond of<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_534" id="Page_534">[Pg 534]</a></span> +this source of nourishment." But he also points out an "interesting +correlation" between the presence of the white-wings in the desert +and the flowering of the saguaro. During his studies the appearance +of the first white-wing preceded the opening of the first +saguaro flower by two days. The flowering and fruiting season +lasted until August, the month of termination of the white-wing +breeding season.</p> + +<p>Since Hensley makes the correlation solely with the white-wings, +I assume that there is no other obvious correlation between plants +and birds among the remainder of the avifauna of the desert. +Probably the Mourning Dove has failed to adapt to nectar-feeding +as yet, and the White-winged Dove is the primary exploiter of this +food niche. It should be noted, also, that the head of the Mourning +Dove is smaller than the white-wing's, and perhaps there is no +need for an elongated beak for reaching deeply into the flowers.</p> + +<p>The lengthened bill should produce no difficulties in protraction +of the upper mandible and depression of the lower for the reason +that in the dove there is no known resistance offered to these movements. +The genus <i>Icterus</i> furnishes an example wherein resistance +is met in the process of opening the mandibles; individuals of this +genus thrust their closed bill into certain fruits and forcibly open +their mandibles against the resistance of the pulp by strong protraction +and depression, thus permitting the juices of the fruit to +lake and ultimately to be consumed (Beecher, 1950:53). Beecher +refers to the technique used in fruit-eating as "gaping." The result +of gaping in <i>Icterus</i> should be the presence of a more massive set +of muscles concerned with protraction and depression than is +found in non-gaping groups. Beecher found the situation to be +exactly as expected in that genus and in other genera which also +gape. Meadowlarks (<i>Sturnella</i>) and caciques (<i>Archiplanus</i>) gape +and pry in soil and wood respectively (Beecher, 1951a:422 and 426).</p> + +<p>The lengthened beak would be a problem when the White-winged +Dove attempted to pick up objects such as seeds, which +do in fact constitute the largest percentage of its diet in spite of its +nectar-feeding habit. A similar situation exists in the genus <i>Icterus</i>, +which is primarily adapted for gaping even though it shows a +preference for insects when they are abundant (Beecher, 1950:53). +The lengthened beak could be compensated for by (A) migration +of the anterior end of the jugal bar toward the rostral tip of the +bill and away from the fronto-nasal hinge with a simultaneous +enlargement of the adductor muscles of the lower mandible, or<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_535" id="Page_535">[Pg 535]</a></span> +(B) enlargement of the one muscle that functions simultaneously +as an efficient retractor of the upper mandible and adductor of the +lower mandible, namely <i>M. pseudotemporalis profundus</i>. <i>Mm. +pterygoideus dorsalis et lateralis</i> perform the same function, but +because of their position on the lower mandible they, apparently, +are stronger retractors of the upper mandible than they are adductors +of the lower.</p> + +<p>It will be recalled that the jugal bar bears the same, or nearly +the same, relationship to the cranium in the white-wing as it does +in the Mourning Dove and that the heads, excluding the beaks of +both species, are of nearly the same proportions. Also, <i>Mm. adductor +mandibulae externus</i> and <i>pseudotemporalis superficialis</i>, the +chief adductor muscles of the lower mandible, were not noticeably +enlarged in the white-wing. It is also important to note that other +combinations of migration of bone and/or enlargement of muscles +could successfully solve the problem of providing sufficient leverage +for the proper functioning of the lengthened mandibles, but +it is my thesis that the second alternative sufficed for seed-eating +habits and that that is the adaptation that was established; it is, +in fact, the only one present in the White-winged Dove.</p> + +<p>It is unlikely that this enlarged muscle and beak are the remains +of another series of jaw muscles that have converged toward the +condition in Mourning Doves. Columbids are almost unquestionably +monophyletic, and two lines would have had to diverge and +then converge. There is no evidence for such an evolutionary +occurrence.</p> + + +<h2>GENERIC RELATIONSHIP</h2> + +<p>An attempt will be made here to summarize all the available +evidence, direct or indirect, which bears on the problem of relationship +of these genera. The original dissections which are discussed +in this report are only valuable as one more bit of evidence concerning +one characteristic that aids in clarification of generic relationship, +and it is only in conjunction with other evidence that any +satisfactory conclusion may be forthcoming.</p> + + +<h3>Morphology</h3> + +<p>My dissections demonstrated that, in relation to the size of the +doves, the jaw musculature of all the specimens investigated was +so nearly alike that only one major difference was detected. <i>M. +pseudotemporalis profundus</i> appeared to be enlarged in the White-winged +Dove. This might have been predicted, since the white-wing<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_536" id="Page_536">[Pg 536]</a></span> +was also shown to possess an elongated beak, presumably an +adaptation for nectar-feeding, which would necessitate additional +muscle development in order to compensate for the added length. +Measurements recorded from several skulls indicated that the +heads of the birds (excluding the beak) are nearly proportional.</p> + +<p>Perhaps plumage patterns are the most widely used characters +for determining generic relationships of birds. Ridgway (1916:339-385) +followed the columbid classification of Salvadori (1893) +using plumage patterns and body proportions to distinguish between +the genera. In the genus <i>Zenaidura</i> he included the unique +specimen <i>Zenaidura yucatanensis</i>, and he placed <i>auriculata</i> in +<i>Zenaida</i>. The White-winged Dove was referred to a separate genus, +<i>Melopelia</i>. He described the genus <i>Zenaidura</i> in the following +manner:</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p>"Plumage of head, neck and under parts soft and blended; bare orbital +space moderate, broadest beneath eyes. Coloration plain, the proximal secondaries +(sometimes adjacent wing-coverts and scapulars also) spotted with +black; rectrices (except middle pair) with a black band across postmedian +portion, the apical portion paler gray than basal portion, sometimes white; a +small black subauricular spot; adult males with head, neck and anterior under +parts more or less vinaceous and sides of neck glossed with metallic purple."</p></div> + +<p>He noted that the plumage of <i>Zenaida</i> was almost precisely as +described for <i>Zenaidura</i>. Also, although all members of <i>Zenaida</i> +reputedly possessed twelve rectrices, a characteristic of the genus, +it was later found that <i>auriculata</i> possessed fourteen rectrices. The +species was promptly placed in the genus <i>Zenaidura</i> by Peters +(1934:213-215). In plumage and coloration, <i>Melopia</i> was described +as similar to <i>Zenaida</i> and <i>Zenaidura</i> but without black spots on the +wings.</p> + +<p>The White-winged Dove also has twelve rectrices, but Bond +(1940:53) and Goodwin (1958:330-334) considered the number +and shape of rectrices to be of minor importance when compared +to the homologous markings of the plumage. Goodwin stated that +his conclusion was emphasized by the fact that the tail of <i>auriculata</i> +is intermediate in length and shape between those of <i>macroura</i> and +<i>aurita</i>. In summary Goodwin "lumped" the genera <i>Zenaida</i> and +<i>Zenaidura</i> under the genus <i>Zenaida</i>.</p> + + +<h3>Nidification</h3> + +<p>It has been adequately documented that members of these +genera closely resemble one another in their nesting and egg-laying +habits. Bent (1932:407, 417), Davie (1889:157), Goss (1891:242)<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_537" id="Page_537">[Pg 537]</a></span> +and Nice (1922:466) have described the two, white eggs of the +clutch of the Mourning Dove. They have also noted that their +nests are composed mainly of twigs and may be constructed in +trees, shrubs or on the ground. The Eared Dove has nearly identical +habits (Bond, 1961:104), and a similar situation exists with the +Zenaida Dove (Audubon, 1834:356; Bent, 1932:418-419).</p> + +<p>Like the other species, White-winged Doves lay two white or +buffy eggs per clutch and build frail nests of sticks (Bent, 1932:431; +Wetmore, 1920:141; Baird, Brewer and Ridgway, 1905:377).</p> + +<p>The point to be made here is simply this: If the species in +question are to be considered congeneric then it might reasonably +be expected that they would display some similarity in nidification +and egg-laying. If their habits varied considerably it would not +necessarily mean that their relationship was more distant, but +similarities can usually be considered indicative of affinities because +they are the phenotypic expression of the partially unaltered genotype +of the common ancestor.</p> + + +<h3>Interbreeding</h3> + +<p>Intergeneric crosses of columbids in captivity are common, but +in nature there is little evidence that even interspecific crosses +occur. Only one apparent hybrid between members of the genus +<i>Zenaida</i> and genus <i>Zenaidura</i> has ever been discovered. The individual +was taken on the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico, and was described +and named as a new species (<i>Zenaidura yucatanensis</i>).</p> + +<p>Salvadori (1893:373), Ridgway (1916:353) and Peters (1934:213-215) +agree that <i>Zenaidura yucatanensis</i> Lawrence is a hybrid +between <i>Zenaidura macroura marginella</i> and <i>Zenaida aurita yucatanensis</i>. +Ridgway (1916:355), however, notes that "... If <i>Zenaidura +yucatanensis</i> Lawrence should prove to be really a distinct +species, and not a hybrid ... unquestionably <i>Zenaida</i> and +<i>Zenaidura</i> can not be separated generically, since the former is in +every way exactly intermediate between the two groups." In the +event that the unique type is a hybrid, the very fact of its existence +supports the hypothesis that the genera are more closely related +than is currently recognized.</p> + + +<h3>Serology</h3> + +<p>There have been no investigations having as their sole purpose +the clarification of the relationship of the genera <i>Zenaida</i> and <i>Zenaidura</i>. +But some work has involved the comparison of the antigenic +content of individual columbids with the antigenic content +of a member of another species of the same family.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_538" id="Page_538">[Pg 538]</a></span></p> + +<p>Irwin and Miller (1961) tested, along with other columbids, +members of <i>Zenaida</i> and <i>Zenaidura</i> for presence of, 1) species-specific +antigens of <i>Columba guinea</i> (in relation to <i>Columba livia</i>) +which are designated A, B, C and E, and, 2) species-specific antigens +of <i>C. livia</i> (in relation to <i>C. guinea</i>) which are designated +A´, B´, C´ and E´.</p> + +<p>In the first test all five species of <i>Zenaida</i> and <i>Zenaidura</i> possessed +antigens A and C, and all but <i>auriculata</i> possessed E. None of the +species gave evidence of the presence of the B antigen of <i>C. guinea</i> +in their blood. In the latter test only <i>macroura</i> had A´, only <i>asiatica</i> +had B´ (<i>aurita</i> was not tested for B´), and none had C´ or E´.</p> + +<p>These results would indicate that the five species are similar +regarding antigenic content of the blood, and the variation is not +consistent within one or the other genus as presently known.</p> + + +<h2>SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION</h2> + +<p>The avian genus <i>Zenaida</i> is currently considered to be distinct +from the genus <i>Zenaidura</i> by most columbid taxonomists. The jaw +muscles of six Mourning Doves (<i>Zenaidura</i>) and five White-winged +Doves (<i>Zenaida</i>) were investigated as to differences and similarities +that might clarify the relationships of the genera. The sizes and +proportions of skulls were also considered in 37 Mourning and +White-winged doves and two Eared Doves. Larger size of <i>M. +pseudotemporalis profundus</i>, the muscle that functions simultaneously +as an adductor of the lower jaw and retractor of the upper +jaw, in the White-winged Dove was the character found in the jaw +musculature that could be used to support the contention that +<i>Zenaidura</i> and <i>Zenaida</i> represent distinct genera. Larger size of +this muscle in the white-wing seems to be related to its elongated +beak. The long beak apparently is used for nectar-feeding in +flowers of the Saguaro Cactus.</p> + +<p>Excluding the beak, skulls of the white-wing and Mourning +doves are of nearly the same shape. Previous investigators have +shown that in <i>Zenaida</i> and <i>Zenaidura</i> plumage patterns are similar, +nesting habits and eggs are nearly identical, blood proteins are +similar, and one "intergeneric" hybridization in nature is known.</p> + +<p>Consequently, it is concluded that species of the two alleged +genera are congeneric, and I agree with Goodwin (1958) that the +genus <i>Zenaida</i> (Bonaparte, 1838:41) should include the Mourning +Dove, Eared Dove, Socorro Dove, Zenaida Dove, and White-winged<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_539" id="Page_539">[Pg 539]</a></span> +Dove. Their Latin binomina are <i>Zenaida macroura</i>, <i>Zenaida auriculata</i>, +<i>Zenaida graysoni</i>, <i>Zenaida aurita</i>, and <i>Zenaida asiatica</i>, respectively.</p> +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;"> +<a name="figs1-2" id="figs1-2"></a> +<img src="images/image001.png" width="600" height="586" alt="Fig. 1.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/32018-h/images/image001.png b/32018-h/images/image001.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1825182 --- /dev/null +++ b/32018-h/images/image001.png diff --git a/32018-h/images/image002.png b/32018-h/images/image002.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9287d1a --- /dev/null +++ b/32018-h/images/image002.png diff --git a/32018-h/images/image003.png b/32018-h/images/image003.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..58d5239 --- /dev/null +++ b/32018-h/images/image003.png diff --git a/32018-h/images/image004.png b/32018-h/images/image004.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e046081 --- /dev/null +++ b/32018-h/images/image004.png diff --git a/32018-h/images/image005.png b/32018-h/images/image005.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fa8c219 --- /dev/null +++ b/32018-h/images/image005.png diff --git a/32018-h/images/image006.png b/32018-h/images/image006.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0e18cb1 --- /dev/null +++ b/32018-h/images/image006.png diff --git a/32018-h/images/image007.png b/32018-h/images/image007.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1403653 --- /dev/null +++ b/32018-h/images/image007.png diff --git a/32018-h/images/image008.png b/32018-h/images/image008.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..22201c1 --- /dev/null +++ b/32018-h/images/image008.png diff --git a/32018-h/images/image009.png b/32018-h/images/image009.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..221749d --- /dev/null +++ b/32018-h/images/image009.png diff --git a/32018-h/images/image010.png b/32018-h/images/image010.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5b0c45d --- /dev/null +++ b/32018-h/images/image010.png |
