A shows the left eye-ball and associated muscles viewed from the outer side. B is the left eye-ball with associated muscles and nerves viewed from the median side. (Redrawn after Warren and Car- michael. Courtesy of Houghton Mifflin & Co.) buds ventrally and anteriorly below the gills as far forward as the mouth. The development and nerve relations of this hypobranchial musculature prove that it is the homologue of the tongue and throat muscles which, in higher vertebrates, are innervated by the twelfth nerve, the hypoglossal. Cyclostomes, however, have no true tongue. The hypobranchial muscles function as a part of the lateral trunk muscles. (Fig. 184, C) The embryos of elasmobranchs provide a clue to the history of the eye muscles, by demonstrating that the differentiation of the three anterior myotomes into the six eye muscles involves primarily a longitudinal splitting of the myotomes into dorsal and ventral moieties such as happens also in the first and second post-otic myotomes of cyclostomes. The facts suggest that the spUtting occurred along the series of lateral-line sense organs, which at one time may have included the lens of the eye and the ear vesicle. Each of the two divisions of the first myotome splits again lengthwise, thus making the four eye muscles innervated by the oculo- motor nerve. The dorsal of the two moieties of the second myotome forms the superior oblique muscle innervated by the trochlear nerve,.
