It will be seen that the major portion of the embryonic pecten is of ectodermal origin, and that the mesoderm forms a relatively inconspicuous part of it. Later, on the same day, it becomes increasingly difficult. 5 }4e^. jj Fig. 162. — Diagrammatic reconstruction of the pecten of the eye of a chick embryo of Ih days' incubation. (After Bernd.)

The lines a, b, c, d, e show the planes of the sections re- produced in Fig. 163 (a, b, c, e) and in Fig. 164 (d). to distinguish ectodermal and mesodermal portions of the pecten, and thereafter it is quite impossible to say which parts of it are of ectodermal and which are of mesodermal origin. During the eighth and ninth days the pecten increases greatly in height, and becomes relatively very much narrower. The folds of the pecten now begin to develop and, by the seventeenth day their number is 17-18, the same as in the adult. The pigment does not begin to appear until about the twelfth day.
