The anterior and the posterior ofthese vesicles very soon subdivide into secondary compartments, the arrange-ment of the brain-segments then being, from before backward, the fore-brain,the inter-brain, the mid-brain, the hind-brain, and the after-brain (Fig. 118). Coincidently with these changes the cerebral axis has suffered marked de-flection (Fig. 119) from its original almost straight condition. By the fifteenthday the cranial flexure is strongly pronounced, a bend of almost 90° takingplace opposite the mid-brain (Fig. 120, a). During the fourth week furthermarked changes appear; the bend opposite the mid-brain, or mesencephalicflexure, has increased almost to 180°, so that the ventr
