In all the orders and species I havepersonally examined and modelled, a lamina transversalis posterior exists,although not in the very young stages. It is a comparatively late forma-tion. Its presence is generally denied in Primates and man, but in a modelof the chondrocranium of a 65-mm. embryo in my possession a small laminatransversalis posterior is distinctly present, and it is formed precisely as in.
