At the same time, by inversion of the nasalmucous membrane, the minor cavities of the nose, which areafterwards filled with air, and which communicate directlywith the two nasal cavities, arise (frontal cavities, cavities ofthe sphenoid bone, jaw cavities, etc.). In this special stageof development they occur only in Mammals.^^^ The external nose is not developed until long after allthese essential internal parts of the olfactory organ havebeen formed. The first trace in the human embryo appearsat the end of the second month (Figs. 238-240). Anyhuman embryo during the first month shows that originallythere is no trace of the external nose. It afterwards growsout from the anterior nasal portion of the primitive form of nose which is characteristic of Man does notappear till a period far later. Much stress is usuallylaid on the
