During the secondmonth the perineal par-tition divides this dilata-tion into the urogenitalsegment and the the same time a de-pression at the anal site(proctodeum) forms inthe skin, and lined byepiderm, extends in-ward to meet the blindend of the ectodermaltube, into which itopens. In arrested or irreg-ular development of oneor more of the severalstructures we have thebasis for the variousmalformations,
