Birds lire' said to have three kinds of language; alarm rotes, call notes and .songs made up of call notea joined together. The Sense of Hearing. The senae of hearing i.s most acute In mammals and birds. The organa ot hearing, which is a portion of. the In- ternal ear located on either side of the head, responds to ceftaln vibrations productive of sound waves in the at- mosphere. It is probable that ^1 normal verte- bratee with the exception of some fish and certain tailed amphibians are cap- able of hearing. In the frog, the large round tympanic membrane back of the eye. is R.imila.r to the tympaiiic membrane of birds and mammals located at the inner end of a short canal on eiUier side ot the head. It transmits the vibration.? affecting It to Ih â-  Inn. r ear, which is an irregu- lar fiac li:ie.d uitli liquid. ;iud contain- ing the teru:i!.:'!ions of the nerve of hearing.
