An- teriorly the mesencephalic flexure produced as has already been stated great changes and set free sensory ganglia which as has been sug- gested have also been utilized in connexion with the VII nerve in the lateral line system. The auditory organ, which is a specially developed lateral sense organ is developed between the anterior and posterior portions of the lateral line immediately behind the abducent somite, and it is inter- esting at least to note that the brain segment and the nerve is the middle one of the visceral and epibranchial series. It may be suggested also that the limits of the brain have been determined by the gills. At all events, notwithstanding the con- ditions in Bdellostoma, these must have had an important influence in determining the region to which it was necessary to give rigidity. I wish to take this opportunity of thanking Mr. L. S. Wood for making t
