I wish only to note that a careful considera-tion of Dr. Neals sections and of the models made from them leadsme to believe that the segmental position of the optic vesicle is 488 Journal of Comparative Neurology and Psychology. practically the same as that of the transverse velum. The velumdoes not become prominent until after the optic vesicle is wellformed (stage K), but in some specimens a slight fold representingit can be recognized in models of embryos as early as 24 somites orearlier. I am inclined to think that the velum represents an infold-ing of the brain wall which is begun early on account of the with-drawal of material from the alar plate to form the optic is the second neuromere wh
