A, aortic rudiment; vae, vacuoles. mediary of the mesoderm. Such a section as that shown in Fig. 175 indicates that the latter is the case. The definitive endoderm shows a perfectly sharply defined surface, clearly marked off from the aortic rudiment, while the mesoderm of the sclerotome on the other hand is continuous with the aortic rudiment. We may say therefore with high probability that the aortic cells are derived from the sclerotome. A remarkable feature has been noticed in the development of the.
