9. They arise from the palate, and are attached by flexible membrane to the sides of the mandible

10. The lower mandible of the shoveller-duck is furnished with lamellae of equal length with these above, but finer; and in being thus furnished it differs conspicuously from the lower jaw of a whale, which is destitute of baleen
