Thus on the fourth day(Fig. 33 A) the greater portion of the yolk is already the overgrowth of the yolk proceeds much more slowly(cf. Fig. 33 B). In the opaque area there arise,as concentric zones,the area vasculosa distinguished by its blood-vessels and the area 61 62 THE DEVELOPxAIEXT OF THE CHICK vitellina, which may be divided into inner and outer zones(Figs. 32 and 33).

The blastoderm early becomes divided in two layers as faras the margin of the vascular area. The outer layer, knownas the somatopleure, is continuous with the body-wall, which isopen ventrally in the young embryo. The inner one, known asthe splanchnopleure, is continuous with the wall of the intestinewhich is likewise open ventrally. The space between these twomembranes, the extra-embryonic body-cavity, is continuouswith the body-cavity of the embryo. Ultimately,
