This portion of the otocyst now begins to form a small conical elevation, and the final closure takes place on the external side of this elevation, which is destined to form the endolymphatic duct. The latter remains united to the epi- dermis at this point for a consid- erable period of time by a strand of cells which may preserve a lumen up to 104 hours (Fig. 98). The final point of closure of the oto- cyst is thus very definitely placed, and it coincides with the middle of the endolymphatic duct, that is, with the junction of the later formed saccus and ductus endolymphaticus. In the Selachia this duct remains in open communication with the exterior throughout life; the rela- tively long persistence of its con- nection with the epidermis in the chick may thus be interpreted as a Fig. 98. â Section of the otocyst phylogenic reminiscence of the an- of an embryo of 104 hours.
