The earliest stage available is a 5 mm. pig cut in transverse seriesfrom which a model of the brain has been made (Fig. 34). Fromthe figure it will be seen that this brain agrees very closely withthat of the Squalus embryo of about 20 somites. The cavity of theoptic stalk is continuous with a groove which traverses the medianline, the primitive optic groove. Behind this is the primitive inferiorlobe, a ventral expansion bounded caudally by the tuberculum pos-terius. In front of the primitive optic groove is a transverse ridgewhose cross section in the median plane presents the form of an arch.
