Of the two indispensable allies of Comparative Anatomy, Em- bryology owed its rapid advance in the latter part of the nineteenth century largely to F. M. Balfour (1851-82) in England and, in Ger- many, to Wilhelm His and, a little later, Oskar Hertwig. In America, the work of Louis Agassiz (1807- 73: Harvard University; founder of the Museum of Comparative Zo- ology) on the embryology of the turtle was of permanent signifi- Fig. 286.
