The subsequent history is <;iven inchapter 1\. The Auditory Sac. At about the 12 s stage the first evidenceof the auditory sacs is found in the form of a pair of circularpatches of thickened ectoderm situated on the dorsal surface ofthe head opposite to the ninth, tenth, and eleventh neuromeres,and thus a short distance in front of the first mesoblastic somite;it lies between the rudiments of the acustico-facialial and glosso-pharyngeal ganglia. In the 14 s stage the auditory epithelium. Fig. 97. — Transverse section through the eyes and heart of an embryo ofabout 35 s. The plane of the section will be readily understood by com-parison of Fig. Fis., Choroid fissure. D. C, Duct of Cuvior. Lg., Lung. pi. gr., Pleural groove. V. c, Posterior cardinal vein. Y.

At al)()ut the 20 s stage the mouth of the pit narrows slightly,and gradually closes (28-30 s), thus forming the auditory sac orvesicle (otocyst) (cf. Figs. 71. 73, S!), and 93).
