Figure 1 in Contributions of Walter G. Ridewood to systematic comparative anatomy, especially of the osteology of ''lower'' vertebrates

Figure 1. Photograph to show how Ridewood disarticulated a fish skull in order to preserve the maximum amount of original articulation as well as to reveal the greater part of the internal skeleton. This is a skull of Scleropages leichardti (Günther 1864). Top: braincase and the right palate, hyomandibular, preopercle and lower jaw shown in medial view. Middle: left palate, hyomandibular and opercular bones in lateral view. Bottom: the ventral gill arches seen in dorsal view. This specimen (The Natural History Museum registration number BMNH 1905.3.20.6) was prepared and used by Ridewood (1905a) in his description of osteoglossid fishes.
