The development of the pituitary body or hypophysis cerebri has been the subject of considerable controversy amongst embryo- logists, and it is only within the last few years that its origin from the oral epithelium has been satisfactorily established. In the course of cranial flexure the epiblast on the under side of the head becomes tucked in between the blind end of the throat and the base of the brain. The part so tucked in constitutes a kind of bay, and forms the stomodEeum or primitive buccal cavity already spoken of. The blind end of this bay becomes produced as a papiUiform divertioulvmi which may be called the pituitary diverticulum. It is represented as it appears in a.
