Dadurch wird die Abgiiederungsstelle der Radien Iund V etwas nach den Seiten verschoben. The calcification of theplates must be secondary to the location of the internal organs, forthese are formed first during ontogeny. Secondary symmetries in theambulacral plates are thus readily accounted Fig-. 11.—View 1 mm. remoTed or 40 sections -^-^ mm. thick.
