The inter-brain undergoes great differentiation, its derivatives forming numer-ous highly specialized organs, among which are the eyes and the pineal andpituitary bodies. For the complicated details of the development of thevarious parts of the brain the reader must be referred to the special works onembryology. The following table, however, modified from Hertwig, will serveas a general indication of the genetic relations existing between the more i
