Also in a diagram of Juillet, 12, (cf. his fig. X, ) the mesial moiety of the lung of the embryonic chick isrepresented to the exclusion of the lateral moiety. In the genusLarus, even in the adult, a separate lateral sac of the interclavicu-lar is present in addition to the mesial portion of that sac (Juilletsfig. XVII, p. 351). For the further history of these moieties ofthe interclavicular air-sac see figures 47, 49, 50 and 52 and theaccompanying comments.
