According to Hatschek the dorsal and ventral fin-spaces are also derived from the myocoel.^ The diverticulum of the myocoel which has just been described is known as the sclerotome, since it gives rise to the fibrous sheath of the notochord and nerve-cord, which { the sheath) in most of the higher forms becomes replaced by carti- lage, and finally by bone.
