The retinae nowforming the unpaired eye seem to be connected withthe original hypodermis only through fine connectivetissue and pigment strands, similar pigment cells also io8 THE APODID/E crowding between the retinae. Fig. 28 is a diagram toshow the way in which we suppose the unpaired eyeto have been formed out of a pair of simple hypo-dermal eyes. Further investigation must decidewhether the dorsal and ventral retinae and the largerposterior cell groups of the lateral retinae are laterdifferentiations of the same two original eyes or newdevelopments. In the inner ends of the retinal cells,
