“The structure of stable symplectics on finite dimensional spaces has been studied by Krein [8], Gelfand & Lidskii [9], and Moser [10] in work of considerable practical importance.”

“The symplectics (9) consist of a somewhat curved central triangular portion with the base upward, and anteriorly and posteriorly from this extends a wing-like process.”

“The symplectics (Fig. 8, sym) are thin slender bones placed vertically in between the quadrates and the hyomandibulars.”

“In many teleosts, on the other hand, including the catfishes, the symplectics have been entirely lost.”
