Development supportsthe view that the tongue cartilages correspond to the mandibulararch (Stockard). Some of the more interesting points in the development of themuscles and nerves of the Cyclostomes ha^-e already been dealtwith above (p. 5, etc.). The permanent separation of the ventralfrom the dorsal roots of the spinal nerves in the Petromyzontia,and their junction in Myxinoidea, is very difficult to explain ([341],Figs. 18, 20, 22).

On the whole, it seems probable that the fusion of NOSTRIL 39 the roots is second;iry in the hitter (Koltzoff [273]), and has takenplace independently in the Gnathostomes. Pctromyzon, wherethey are both separate and altei-natc, wonld then retain theprimitive condition found in ;. All the Cyclostomes ditier fundamentally from the Gnathostomesin possessing a single median nostril. Probably the nasal organ of. Fig. 24.

In the early embryo there is said to developa single terminal olfactory (?) plate (von Kupffer [275]); this laterbecomes bilobed, probably incorporating two placodes, and givesrise to the olfactory epithelium. The olfactory pit becomes involvedin the hypophysial invagination, is carried some distance back, andfinally opens dorsally into the hypophysial or nasal canal (Fig. 24)
