Again organs are homologous or homologues when they are constructed on the same plan undergo a similar development and bear the same relative position and this independent of either form or function. Thus the arms of a man and the wings of a bird are homologues of one another while the wing of a bird and the wing of a bat are both analogous and homologous.
