As a general rule a thickened disc-shaped region can be recog- nised at a certain stage of development on the dorsal pole of the JM. ^UihnV -piQ, 7.—DiAGEAMMATIO TRANSVERSE SECTION THROUGH THE BoDY OF AX AdULT Vertebrate.

This region gradually becomes constricted off from the yolk by the formation of furrows at its anterior and posterior ends as well as laterally, and consequently the connection of the body-rudiment with the ventral yolk-sac (the 1 The coelome may arise as a segmentally arranged series of pouches (enteroccehs) from the archenteron, in which case its lining epithelium is at first continuous with the hypoblast, as is most plainly seen in Amphioxus ; or it may be formed secondarily by a splitting (delamination) of the mesoblastic tissue (schir-octde). The first of these must be considered as the iijore Please note that these images are extracted from sca
