Evolution of the cochlea and the elongated cochlea allows for better sensitivity for higher frequencies. As in all lepidosaurs and archosaurs, the single-ossicle (columellar) middle ear transmits sound to the footplate of the columella, which sends a pressure wave through the inner ear. In snakes, the basilar papilla is roughly 1mm long and only responds to frequencies below about 1 kHz. In contrast, lizards tend to have two areas of hair cells, one responding below and the other above 1 kHz. The upper frequency limit in most lizards is roughly 5–8 kHz. The longest lizard papillae are about 2mm long and contain 2000 hair
The Body in the Library earlier, Anne Meredith knows Ariadne Oliver as the writer of a book called "The Body in the Library". In the first episode of the second series ("And the Moonbeams Kiss the Sea") of the television series "Lewis," the body of a handyman is found in the Bodleian Library.
