(After Marshall.) is completed there appears a third germ layer, the me so derm or mesoblast, between the other two. The mesoderm ap- pears all around the blastopore, and as this opening closes mainly from in front backward, the two masses of meso- derm on either side are brought near each other in the mid- dorsal line. The free ventral edges of the masses or sheets.
