The posterior extension of the splanch-nopleuric head-fold lengthens the floor of the fore-gut; it iscaused by the median growth and concrescence of folds of thesplanchnopleure (Fig. 53). Along with this process is involvedthe development of the heart described farther on. The growthin length of the fore-gut may be realized by a comparison ofFigs. 50, 52, 62, etc. Thus by the 12 s stage a considerable section of the fore-gutis already established (Fig. 63);

The lateral extensions may be regarded asdiverticula; subsequently these grow more rapidly at four placesalong their length, and come in contact with the ectoderm. Thusfour pouches are established on each side as described in detail & Fig. 48. — Stage of first intersomitic groovedrawn from an entire mount in balsam bytransmitted light,a. c. v., Amnio-cardiac vesicle, a. o., In-ner margin of Area opaca.
