. The elements of Embryology,. 30 PRELIMINARY ACCOUNT. [chap. fore no lateral limits to the body of the embryo as distinguished from the blastcderni. Incidentally it shews the formation of the medullary groove by the rising up of the laminse dorsales. Beneath the section of the groove is seen the rudiment of the notochord. On either side a line indicates the cleavage of the mesoblast just commencing. This cleavage, it will be seen, does not exist in the more central parts of the embryo. In C, which represents a vertical longitudinal section of later date, both head-fold (on the riyht) and tail-fold (on the left) have advanced considerably. The alimentary canal is therefore closed in both, in front and Ijehind, but is in middle still widely open to the yolk '/ below. Though the axial parts of the embryo have become thickened by growth, the body-walls are still thin; in them however is seen the cleavage of the mesoblast, and the divergence of the Romatopleure and splanchnopleure. The splanchnopleiire both at the heail and at the tail is folded in to a greater extent than the aomatopleure, and pp-n-. E.
