In all, the first rudi-ment of each limb in the embryo is a simple wart, or smallknob, which grows from the side of the body between thedorsal and ventral sides (Figs. 119 and 120, vol. i. pp. 357, 3o9;136 and 137, pp. 381, 382). The cells composing these knobsbelono- to the skin-fibrous layer. The outer surface is coatedb}^ the horn-plate, which is rather thicker at the apex ofthe protuberance (Plate IV. Fig. o, x). The two anteriorprotuberances appear at a rather earlier period than thetwo posterior. By differentiation of the cells, these
