note: roses are shrubs with pinnate leaves and usually
prickly stems. the flowers are large, and in the wild
state have five petals of a color varying from deep
pink to white, or sometimes yellow. by cultivation and
hybridizing the number of petals is greatly increased
and the natural perfume enhanced. in this way many
distinct classes of roses have been formed, as the
banksia, baurbon, boursalt, china, noisette, hybrid
perpetual, etc., with multitudes of varieties in nearly
every class.

ear \ear\ =er, n. as. e'are; akin to ofries. 'are,
'ar, os. =ora, d. oor, ohg. =ora, g. ohr, icel. eyra,
sw. "ora, dan. "ore, goth. auso, l. auris, lith. ausis,

skr. av to favor, protect. cf. auricle, orillon.
1. the organ of hearing; the external ear.
1913 webster
note: in man and the higher vertebrates, the organ of hearing
is very complicated, and is divisible into three parts:
the external ear, which includes the pinna or auricle
and meatus or external opening; the middle ear, drum,
or tympanum; and the internal ear, or labyrinth. the
middle ear is a cavity connected by the eustachian tube
with the pharynx, separated from the opening of the
external ear by the tympanic membrane, and containing a
chain of three small bones, or ossicles, named malleus,
incus, and stapes, which connect this membrane with the
internal ear. the essential part of the internal ear
where the fibers of the auditory nerve terminate, is
the membranous labyrinth, a complicated system of sacs
and tubes filled with a fluid the endolymph, and
lodged in a cavity, called the bony labyrinth, in the
periotic bone. the membranous labyrinth does not
completely fill the bony labyrinth, but is partially
suspended in it in a fluid the perilymph. the bony
labyrinth consists of a central cavity, the vestibule,
into which three semicircular canals and the canal of
the cochlea spirally coiled in mammals open. the
vestibular portion of the membranous labyrinth consists
of two sacs, the utriculus and sacculus, connected by a
narrow tube, into the former of which three membranous
semicircular canals open, while the latter is connected
with a membranous tube in the cochlea containing the
organ of corti. by the help of the external ear the
sonorous vibrations of the air are concentrated upon
the tympanic membrane and set it vibrating, the chain
of bones in the middle ear transmits these vibrations
to the internal ear, where they cause certain delicate
structures in the organ of corti, and other parts of
the membranous labyrinth, to stimulate the fibers of
the auditory nerve to transmit sonorous impulses to the
brain.
