These points are minute cavities, surrounded with tiny cilia or hairs, which connect with the ends of the nerves. The ears of the frogs and all higher animals are, like the tongue-bone and the lower jaw, derived originally from portions of gills, which the aquatic ancestors of living animals used to draw the oxygen from the water.
