At the outer rim of the yolk-entoderm we observe that it becomes con- tinuous with the mesoblast; in other words, recalling sections d and g, the peristomial mesoblast of Chimasra which now arises is not continuous with the gastral mesoblast. We have thus a reason for inquiring whether gastral and peristomial mesoblast. ^â ^e^a:? Figs. 71 J-N.âDetails in sections of foregoing embryo (figs. 71 A-1). /.

Lying in the subgerminal yolk is a megasphere, which, on the evidence of the overlying vacuoles, is in the process of rising towards the yolk entoderm. J\I. Similar megasphere passing into the yolk entoderm. N. Megaspheres similar to preceding, but representing a somewhat later stage of passage into the blastoderm. are as intimately related as we have generally assumed.* A condition of the peristomial mesoblast is figured in detail in j, and it proves of considerable interest, since the region of mesoblast proliferation is of wide extent. Not only are cells budded out from the marginal mass m, but we observe also that cells are added to the mesoblast from the neighboring ectoderm; thus at c' is a cell which has been derived from the ectoderm c, where, by the way, a syncytium is now present; and *Cf. the current view as to the secondary confluence of blastopore and yolk "blastopore," as summarized in Ziegler's Handbuch der Embryologie, pp. 352 and Please note that these images are extract
