pallium (păl`ēəm), vestment proper to the pope, who confers it on archbishops in token of their union with and obedience to him. It is a band of cloth worn around the neck and has a 2-in. (5.1-cm) pendant hanging down in both front and back. There are six black crosses on the pallium. It is woven of wool from two lambs presented to the pope at the Church of St. Agnes on her feast day. Certain liturgical functions, such as ordination, require the use of the pallium, and an archbishop may not perform those until he has received it. The pallium is as old as the 6th cent.

No references found | Secondary mantle retractors occur in the genus Saccostrea and appear on the shell as a series of small oval muscle scars paralleling the pallial line (Torigoe 1981). To identify other baits, the activity in the pallial nerve of whelks was determined during exposure of the osphradium to odorant solutions prepared from horseshoe crab eggs, horseshoe crab hemolymph, and hard clam (Mercenaria mercenaria) tissue. Following Peacock (2000), the left valves of three species (Fusconaia flava, Pleurobema rubrum, and Amblema plicata) were analyzed for size using the pallial line--lateral tooth (PL-L) measurement suggested by Warren (1975). |
