Fig. 3 co-h somatopleure Moreover, these points at which ectoderm cells apparently crowd into the lower layer are not confined to the vicinity of bone, as they should be, were Dr. Klaatsch's view correct, but they may be found in many other places, especially in the head where the complexity of the folds of the skin gives ample opportunity for it to be cut obli- quely. Figure 3 is a section through the anterior portion of the body wall of the gill region, which cuts also the rudiment of the m. coraco- hyoideus. The continuity of the muscle with the ectoderm is quite as well marked here as in the case of any bone I have observed. The connection of the tooth-bearing bones with the ectoderm, I believe to be of the same nature. At any rate it is quite impossible that the dentale and max ilia re be formed through the coales- cence of tooth-rudiments, for both of these bones arise deeply im- bedded in the mesenchyme at a time when the modification of the ectoderm covering them is but barely perceptible as a slight thicken- ing of its deeper layer. The stages which Dr. Klaatsch has studied and figured are much too old to have weight in support of his view. To recapitulate then, I believe to have shown, 1) that the apparent disappearance of the basement membrane at certain points, and in- crowding of ectodermal cells into the underlying tissue, is due merely to the obliquity of the plane of section and the consequent overlapp
