This process is illustrated by the diagrams (Fig. 1) which were drawnfrom an embryo near the point of hatching. The histology of the endoderm as shown in Fig. 173,is the same as in the previous stag^. The cells are inismatic, and tlie nucleus .spherical,and, as in all stages, tilled with numerous nucleoli or chromatin balls. The cell walls are verydelicate and the protoplasm often contains large 9S> Fic;..>. — Seiiii<IiaKraniniatic representation of the alimentary imet and iin ;i|i|ien<la):ea in thelirat larva of Atiihrim taiilnii.

Wandering cells still occur in all parts of the yolk, tbough in far less abundance than inearlier stages. We find numbers of them moving toward the periphery, or next the body wall totake part in forming the endoderm. The epiblaist is conspicuous in Fig. 1G8 just in front of theoptic lobes. This corresponds in position with the dorsal plate (Fig. 153 dj).), and is i)robably aremnant of it. The small clusters of cells beneath it and the degenerative products which occurnear them, probably also represent
