Posterior neurenteric canal. the possession of a ciliated ectoderm is very common among Invertebrate embryos, but entirely unknown among the craniate Vertebrates. The medullary plate is now being closed off from the outer surface. This is effected by the co-operation of two factors. The ectoderm which bounds the medullary plate laterally, grows over it, and simultaneously the ectoderm of the posterior or ventral lip of the blastopore grows for- ward over the medullary plate so as to shut in the blasto- pore from the exterior (Fig. 62 A and B). The archenteric.
