The anterior part of this is the relativelydeep and sharply marked primitive optic groove. The posteriorlx)iindary is less definitely marked by a slight projection of the brainfloor into the ventricle. This is the tuberculum posterius. As thebroad inferior lobes involve nearly the whole floor of the diencephalon,neither the infundibulnm nor the mammillary bodies are to berecognized at this time. Both are developed later within the general. Fig. 19. Sqiialus ac, GO somites, parasagittal section near the middle mouth is open.

The mammillary bodies are indicated by a rounded caudal pro-jection of the depressed floor of the diencephalon in embryos withabout 80 somites (Figs. 20, 21, 22). The infundibular recess is not found until after the completionof the changes described in connection with the optic recesses.
