DEYELOPMEirT OF THE CHICK—THIED PERIOD. 331 The intestine makes several turns outside of the umbilicus,and continues in communication with the vitellary sac bymeans of the vitellary duct; upon the inner surface of thevitellary sac, and over the tortuous veins, membranous pro-ductions—puckered or wrinkled folds—make their appear-ance ; and at the same time similar formations occur upon themucous membrane of the intestine. The allantois has nowgrown completely around the embryo, so that the ovum—thevitellary sac, the remaining albumen, &c. included—is com-pletely enve-loped anew asit were,and willnow retain itsform even afterthe shell is re-moved (, b; from theKestril—Falcotinnunculus) ;the serous co-vering disap-pears.

The embryo of this falcon, byreason of the transparency of the membranes, is pe-culiarly fitted to serve for the demonstration of thelong axis, which, relative position of the several parts: a, the embryoit finally fills ; shining through the membranes ; /, /, the eyes of great size, seen from above; b, b, the ailantois, hasgrown completely around the embryo, and so formsa perfect envelope, the chorion, whose principal vas-cular branches are perceived ; c, c, the amnion ; d. d, the head isturned towardsthe breast, and _ , . «J A «-VA « \_ ti v^ u u,.a »_> W
