The cartilaginous basal plate now comes into relations with the olfactory, optic, and auditory organs (Fig. 51), around which carti- laginous capsules are formed. Thus an olfactory, an orbital, and an auditory region are early differentiated. The olfactoi-y and auditory capsules, especially in higher types, then become more and more drawn in to the skull proper, and the lateral edges of the basal plate begin to grow upwards round the brain on both sides, eventu- ally extending even to the dorsal region. Thus a continuous cartilaginous capsule is formed, such as persists throughout life in Elasmobranchs for example. But in by far the greater number of Vertebrates, the cartilage does not play so great a part, and is, as a rule, con- fined to the base and lower parts of the sides of the skull and to the sense- capsules, except in the occipital region, where it always extends over the brain.
