ELEMENTS OF THE CENTRAL KERYOITS SYSTEM. 501 neural plate crista neuralis skin in a way that seems at first sight utterly abnormal, until it is remembered that they afford examples of very primitive methods of nerve- formation. The essential part of the organ of hearing is an ecto- dermal sac (otic vesicle) that develops as a diverticulum on the side of the head, from a thickened patch of ectoderm, which in the lower vertebrates forms part of a more exten- sive area, known as the dorso- lateral placode. Some of the cells of this area seem to be- come transformed into nerve- cells, which migrate into the space between the otic vesicle and the neural tube (Fig. 443) and form the acoustic ganglion. At the upper margins of the branchial clefts a series of o^torium ectodermal (and possibly also D entodermal) thickenings develop, which are known as the epi- branchial placodes. Com- parison with the process of development in fish embryos, which has been elucidated by Landacre {Journal of Compara- tive Neurology and Psychology, 1910-1912), suggests that the nerve-cells may arise from these placodes, from which the nerves of taste originate.
