On the posterior dorsal region a number of large opaque cells form an internally convex plate,—the beginning of the future shell-sac. A pair of large cells are intruded into the central cavity, and begin the mesoderm. On the under surface posteriorly there is a slight protrusion of ciliated cells forming a ciliated disc. In front of this, at an unusually late stage, an invagination establishes the archenteron, and the embryo becomes a gastrula (see Fig. 154). The shell-sac forms an embryonic shell, and many of the mesodeim.
