On the other hand, some of the changes in shape that the lumen undergoes would seem to be due to the change in shape of the whole embryo as it elongates antero-posteriorly, and narrows from side to side. Nevertheless, even in this case the cells do not seem to be Fig. 40. — Cross-section through the iiiiddle of an embryo (.'i mm.). AR. Archen- teron. jMs. Mesoblastic somites. X. Notochord. Ns.

Either certain of the cells have pulled awav from the surface and have passed into the yolk, or else they have changed their position relative to one another on account of the lengthening of the archenteron. In the latter case the total number of endoderm cells lining the archenteron would still be the
