A small vesiclefilled with fluid, the primitive ear-vesicle, is thus formedon each side, immediately below the horn-plate of the backpart of the head; this is also called the primary laby-rinth (Plates VI. and VII.). As this separates from itsoriginal site, the horn-plate, and grows inward and down-ward in the skull, it changes from a globular to a pear-shaped form (Figs. 246, B, Iv; 249, 0). The outer part has 264 THE EVOLUTION OF MAN, elongated into a thin stalk, which at first opens outward ina narrow canal. (Cf. Fig. 137,/, vol. i. p. 382.) This is calledthe appendage of the labyrinth recessus labyrinthi, Fig. 246, Ir)..
