Show The Formatlou of the Ear, " The ear is worth studying from an anatomical an-atomical point of view. Beginning with the outer fold or ridge, called the helix, , which forms the outline, tho ear is composed com-posed of thin cariillage aud integument. . The next prominent ridgo is the anti-helix, anti-helix, which some people have very largely large-ly developed, but in a well formed ear projects very little beyond the helix. The little knob that projects from tho foot of the antihelix is called the antitragus, and the corresponding knob on the other side the tragus. Tho deep well in the center of the oar. the concha, so termed from its shell like form, plays the most important im-portant part iu reflecting the vibrations into the inner ear; in fact, all these projections pro-jections and depressions are of importance import-ance to our hearing and play their own parts in conveying tho undulations of sound to the drum of the car.
