The same is true of the neural axis ; for theneural bands are parallel to the mesoblast-bands, forming withthe latter the principal basis of the so-called Diagram VI. A. Early annelidan gastrula. The mesoblast is shaded. B. Horizontal type of the foetal form (^Lumbrictis). C. Vertical type of the larval form {Polyg07-dins, etc.). For the evidence on which this statement rests I refer to mypaper on Lnmbricus (No. 29) and to the well-known researchesof Whitman and Vejdovsky.

The truth of this statement becomes at once apparent onconsidering the development of LopadorhyncJius, where the ro-tation of the axis is effected very late in the development.
