In a little later stage thanthe one here described the columella and the conical lump ofinner indusial elements have disintegrated, and can no longerbe distinguished from the granular amniotic serum. The changes in the configuration of the embryo since itsarrival on the ventral yolk, relate mostly to the first the antennae are of about the same thickness as the -5XC. Fig. IV.

The dark line running parallel with their inner edges,and distinctly marked in Fig. 9, is in section seen to be a meso-dermal partition dividing the cavity of the appendage into twotubular sinuses. The antennas grow directly tailward till theirtips reach the femorotibial joint of the hind legs, when they di-verge laterally, describe an arc, and then grow forward. Whenthe tips have reached the head further progress is arrested 34 WHEELER.
