On the otherhand, in the region of the tuber cinereum, immediately anterior to theneck of the infundibular process, typical mantle and marginal layers aredifferentiated. It thus appears that the infundibular process arises as a diverticulumof the diencephalic floor, whose walls undergo differentiation into ependymal,mantle (nuclear), and marginal zones similar to those of the brain wall. 228 Dv Katharine M.

As already seen inTrichosurus (Stage XI.), it later undergoes further changes due to theingrowth of connective tissue and cells of the pars infundibularis.

The differentiation of proximal and distal lobes and theprocess of formation of glandular tissue follows the same course as inTrichosurus. It is interesting to note that, in spite of the marked development ofSeessels pocket in Perameles nasuta (13, VII. 05), Stage IV., described inSection I. of this paper, there is no trace of this structure in any subsequentstage.
