The neuromeres of that region are now in contact in the median plane ; soon, by the lateral growth of the upper brain wall, they become separated as shown in Fig. 7. This is the stage in which neural segments have been here- tofore described. They have been designated neuromeres. The 1 f<^- .8 a :'".
