VIII.) 152 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHICK The median strip includes the tela choroidea, beginning atthe diencephalon, and the lamina terminalis, which ends at therecessus opticus. These divisions are of great prospective signifi-cance, though at the stage of 36 s they are but slightly differen-tiated, save by their position. A slight thickening of the laminaterminalis just in front of the recessus opticus marks the site ofthe future anterior commissure (Figs. 87 and 88). Metenc. J Mesenc MijeJenc.

It in-cludes the second and third neuromeres and probably also theventral zones and floor of the first (Fig. 83). A slight constrictionin the roof that appears about the 18 to 20 s stage near the junc-tion of the middle and last third may represent the boundary be-tween the second and third neuromeres; this persists for a longtime and may be traced in the lateral walls to the region of the FROM TWELVE TO THIRTY-SIX SOMITES 153 infimdibiilum (Fig. 83 E); thus the diencephalon may be dividedinto an anterior and poster
