“…Deformation of the bony auditory meatus is a plausible by‐product of mutations that specifically alter external ear morphology (e.g. Altmann, ), particularly because variation in relative ear length is established during post‐natal development in rodents (Creighton & Strauss, ; Anthwal & Thompson, ). During this time, bone tissue is weakly calcified and thus capable of undergoing deformation in response to mechanical stress exerted by soft tissues (Young & Badyaev, ).…”

“…The portion of the auricle that falls above the eye line includes the upper poles of the auricles. The folding or the rolling of the upper aspect of the helix is subject to genetic variation as shown by Altmann (1951). Since the upper poles of the auricle are variable, accurate measurements are not possible.…”

“…The mothers of these animals had received subcutaneous injections of trypan blue before and after fertilization; it seems very probable that the malformations were the result of these injections. 3. A comparison of the findings in man and rats shows that they are essentially identical although in rats the distal portion of the first branchial pouch and the derivatives of the upper part of the second branchial arch seem more susceptible to malformations than In man.…”
