At about the .^6 s stage its distal poilion flattens laterally FROM TWELVE TO THIRTY-SIX SOMITES 155 and shows indication of branching. Subsequently it becomesmuch branched and quite massive and unites with the infun-(Ubulum to form the pituitary body. (See Chap. VIII.) The Mesencephalon. This portion of the brain come
