It also explains the peculiarform taken by the hypophysis. The cleft meeting the cavity of thehypophysis suggests that the intact Avail of the hypophysial invagina-tion constitutes, with the entoderm dorsal to the cleft, the dorsalwall or roof of the palseostoma, while the absence of a ventral wallto the hypophysial invagination allows the hypophysis to open into.

After the stage at which the partial connection between hypophysisand archenteron is seen, there is a further bending of the brain, theflexure becoming excessive in amphibians. The bending, togetherwith the expansion of the forebrain, results in pushing the hypophysis .1. II.

Compare Figs. 3 and is this movement of the preoral entoderm dorso-caudally that wasreferred to above as the means of thickening up the wall of the archen-teron wh
