(After E van Beneden.) arises and fuses with the epiblast to produce the true epiblastic layer. These two layers form a circular embryonic patch on the ovum, which on the seventh day becomes oval. There ap- pears at the lower part of this spot a primitive streak as in the fowl. The area then becomes pyriform, and the primitive streak is marked by a groove. The epiblastic cells which form the streak also give rise to part of the mesoblast. Very similarly to what we saw in the development of the chick the medullary groove arises in front of the primitive streak. The medullary plate between the two medullary folds is composed of one row of epiblastic cells, only, at first. The mesoblast arises from a double origin—(1) from the epiblast and (2) from the hypoblast. The notochord arises as a.
