In the higher vertebrates they are a pair of bones of the surface of the skull, in relation with the frontal, lacrymal, or maxillary bones, covering in more or le of the nasal cav ity. They are very variable in shape in different animals, le so in position relations; in man they form the bridge of the nose. In the o eous fishes different bones have been identified as representatives of the nasals. According to Cuvier, they are a pair of separated small tubiform bones in front of the frontals, called by others turbinals. According to Owen, they are represented by an unpaired projecting bone in front of the frontals, more generally considered to be the ethmoid. The nasals were regarded by Owen as forming the neural spine of the foremost, rhinencephalic, or nasal vertebra. See cuts under cra niofacial, Crotal us, Lepidosiren, Anura, and holorhinal. 4.
