He detected the anlage first in pigsof 2 cm. in the shape of a projection on the medial side of the Wolffianbody. Ventral from this projection, he says, the coelomic epithelium ishighly developed; it shows, however, no differentiation, being similarto the epithelium of the coelomic cavity in general. This finding, hethinks, warrants the conclusion that the cortex is derived from thecoelomic epithelium. Of the medulla Wiesel makes a thoroughstudy. He traces its origin back to the sympathetic ganglia, and de-scribes the passage of medullary cells in collections through the cortexto the vicinity of the central vein in the way previously described byFlint. % -^.

The Histogenesis of the Cortex, Although the anlage appeals at a much earlier stage, it will be con-venient to begin the observations in an embryo of 13 mm. and trace ittowards its beginning. In such an embryo (Fig. 2) the anlage con-sists of an ovoid collection of cells situated ventro-lateral from the aortaand dorsal from the angle formed by the junction of the ventral 354 The Histogenesis of the A(h-eiiiil iu the Pig- surface of the Wolffian lx)dy witli the mesenteric attachment.
