Indeed, accord-ing to His, the human embryo is from the first in connection withthe periphery of the ovum. Very early, therefore, in embryonallife there may be observed a sac-like projection from the posteriorend of the intestinal tract, which, at first solid, but later contain-ing a canal, grows outward and backward, owing to the presenceof the large umbilical vesicle anteriorly, until it comes in contactwith the periphery of the ovum.
