0 a raised surface on which a person making a speech or a music conductor (= leader) stands
1 a podium
The rostrum lies outside the body cavity between the anterior pair of oral lobes.
A foreign woman in modern clothes runs across the stage, and others follow, crawling across, over and under the spectators' rostra, prowling about or hiding.
It has a relatively short rostrum and thus feeds on the smaller twigs in the main part of the crown.
The rostrum is roughly heart-shaped, 0-1 mm. in length, and consists of one segment.
This inclination possibly decreased toward the rostrum, but the evidence is equivocal.
On the cut surface, the cross-section of the right third of the rostrum mandibulae is seen.
In the females of the intermediate shapes the rostrum lies ventrally in the anterior half of the body.
And when the soloist who was standing on the rostrum sang the kontakion, the choirs echoed his refrain.
