Cartilage cells have passed through the primary sheath, and are invading the secondary sheath (Cartilaginous Ganoids, Holocephali, Dipnoi, Elasmo- branohii : in the last named chorda-centra are thus formed). D.—The cartilages are growing round the notochord, outside its sheaths, which gradually become reduced : thus arch-centra are formed (Bony Ganoids, Teleostei, Amphibia, Amniota). A—D represent the caudal region. E.—A later stage in the development of a pre-caudal vertebra. The notochord (nc) has become constricted, and the cartilages have united into a single mass and have given rise to a centrum (c), neural arch (), neural spine {n. sp), transverse processes () and articular processes (art); D 2.
