When the embryo has attained a length of 2-5 mm., and possesses about twenty- three mesodermal somites, the two primitive dorsal aortas have fused together, from the tenth to the six- teenth somite, forming in the region of fusion a single dorsal aorta, which becomes the descending aorta of the adult. At a slightly later stage the fusion of the two primi- tive dorsal aortse extends caudalwards to the level of the twenty-third somite, where one of the ventral branches of each primitive vessel becomes enlarged ^-^ of ^^^S
