  This would not be the proper place for entering into an exhaustive account of the musculation of the Tyroglyphidæ; which would necessarily be lengthy , and would probably be of comparatively littel interest to most readers.

  Whatever may be the remote causes of vocal defects, the direct cause is always a faulty musculation in the vocal mechanism. The method of training hitherto used to correct this faulty musculation has been for the most part an indirect one.
