TitlePaper, 'Contribution to the anatomy of fishes. I. The air-bladder and Weberian ossicles in the Siluridae' by Thomas William Bridge and Alfred Cort Haddon
Date1889
DescriptionThe authors write: 'Weber, in his classical memoir entitled ‘De Aure et Auditu Hominis et Animalinm. Pars. I.—De Anre Animalium aquatilium,’ published in 1820, was the first to show that in certain families of Physostomous Teleostei, which were subsequently grouped together under the name of Ostariophysese by the late Dr. Sagemehl, there exists a peculiar connexion between the membranous labyrinth of the internal ear and the air-bladder by means of a chain of movably interconnected "auditory" ossicles.'
