At the same time this is taking place certain cells, which may iiave their origin from the base of the nephridial diverticula, give rise to the lining of the cavity of the trunk. As to the manner of the origin of these cells, 1 am still in doubt. I have not been able to find two coelomic sacs which Hatschek has figured, and I have hunted for them in larvae where the diverticula.
