. The elements of embryology. Chickens -- Embryos. 110 THE THIRD DAY. [CHAP. epiblast furnishes the body of the cornea, the epiblast itself remaining as the anterior corneal epithelium. A portion of mesoblast, carried in from the front by the lens during its involution, gives rise to the capsule of the lens and suspensory ligament, while some mesoblast entering on the under side through the choroidal fissure becomes (in birds) the pecten, and probably also contributes to the vitreous humour. Of the walls of the optic cup, the thinner outer (posterior) wall becomes, behind the line of the ora serrata, the pigment- epithelium of the choroid, while the thicker inner (anterior) wall supplies all the elements of the retina, including the rods and cones which grow out from it into the pigment- epithelium.
