The mesen-chymatous cells beneath the front end of the brain are in over-whelming proportion of ectodermal (neural crest) origin. In Dohms beantiful plates illustrating his articles on the man-dibular and premandibular cavities, this terminal neural crest isclearly shown. See especially PI. 9, Figs. 7-12. Dohrn does notdistinguish between premandibular mesoderm and the mesectodermof neural crest origin. The latter he calls the anterior part of thepremandibular mesoderm (Prsem. 1) after the infundibulum has nf en. Fig. 10.

In Fig. 8 the origin of thisfrom the neuropore is strongly suggested, especially as the spotmarked neurop. is at the upper border of the lamina distance dorsal to the extreme point to which the preoral ento-derm or premandibular mesoderm ever reaches. In Dr. Nealspreparations which I have studied the entoderm has a differenttone from the other tissues and there is a decided difference in theform of the cells and in the size of the nuclei between the preman-dibular mesoderm and the terminal neural crest mesectoderm.
