Thus by the end of the fifthor the beginning of the sixth day of incubation, the heart isprepared for the rapid completion of a double circulation. Theembryonic circulation is never completely double, however, forthe reason that the embryonic resjiiratory organ (allantois)belongs to the aortic system, and full pulmonary circulation doesnot begin until after hatching. However, between the sixthand eighth days the right and left chambers of the heart becomecompletely separated, except that the interauricular foramina.

The completion of the caidiac septa takes place in such away that the aorta becomes connected with the left ventricle,the pulmonary artery remaining in connection with the understand how this occurs it is necessary to remember that,although the bulbus arteriosus is primitively connected with theright side of the ventricle, the revolution of the latter has trans-ferred the bulbus to the middle line
