Ependymal cells form the walls of thisstalk and have an arrangement reminiscent of the retinal sen-sory cells of the retina of Petromyzon especially of the region ofthe large end-vesicle (fig. 57). 17.

Carassius auratus. Studnicka (96).386 The pineal organin this form is tubular throughout its entire extent. There is atractus pinealis as usual in the stalk, but no fossa in the skull. 19.
