The tips of our ears and our rudimentary ear muscles, the hair on hand and arm, and the little plica semilunaris, or rudimentary third eyelid in the inner angle of our eyes, the vermiform appendage of the intestine, the coracoid process on our shoulder-blades, the atlas vertebra of our necks to say nothing of the coccyx at the other end of the backbone many malformations, and a host of minor characteristics all refute our denial.
The plica semilunaris, haw or nictitating membrane, though not as largely developed in the dog as in some other animals, is, nevertheless, of sufficient size to afford considerable protection to the ball of the eye, and assists materially in preventing the accumulation of seeds and other minute particles within the conjunctiva.
The plica semilunaris as a vestige of the nictitating membrane of certain birds. The pointed ear, or the turned-down tip of the ears of many men.

The supracondyloid foremen of the humerus. The vermiform appendix.
