Abstract
There are a number of fairly detailed reviews of the anatomy of the ear of reptiles and birds, so that this chapter will serve only as an overview for those relatively unfamiliar with this field. I shall then include in later chapters details of the anatomy of the basilar papilla of the individual species for which the physiological data are described. Readers wishing for more comprehensive formation are referred to the reviews of Baird (1960, 1970), Hamilton (1964), Miller (1966, 1968, 1980, 1985), Smith (1981) and Wever (1978).
