The path along which they travel into the embryo is a very definite one—viz., "from the yolk sac upward between the splanchopleure and gut in the hinder portion of the ; This pathway, named by Beard the germinal path, "leads them directly to the position which they ought finally to take up in the 'germinal ridge.'" A considerable number apparently never reach their proper desti- nation, since "vagrant germ cells are found in all sorts of places, but more particularly on the ; Some of these may possibly find their way into the germinal ridge; some probably undergo atrophy, while others may persist and become the seat of dermoid tumors.
