| These paleognath birds are characterized by large, fenestrated maxillo-palatines that do not articulate with the vomer, and short palatines that do articulate with the vomer. |
| Her palatines supply an additional row of teeth and the pterygoids almost complete the roof of the palate. |
| The palatines are edentate, but bear strong ridges throughout their lengths. |
| The palatines lie between the suborbital fenestrae, with the anterior palatine processes forming a short V-shaped wedge. |
| In blennies the palatines are toothless, and the mouth not protractile. |
| Warned on pain of death not to leave, the Palatines began fleeing down the Rhine to Rotterdam, Holland. |
