X y a faulty position of the mirror by which only a view of the roof of the pharynx would be obtained. t, section of the tongue, ]) A, section of the cavity of the pharynx. d, orifice of the Eustachian tube. n, section of the left nasal bone (after Czermak). !NOTE.—The liead is represented erroneously as being tlirown backwards.
