The epiblast is formed of a layer of columnar cells, two deep on the ventral surface, except along the median line where there is a well-marked groove and the epiblast is much thinner (fig.
Between the hypoblast andepiblast there is a very well marked layer of mesoblast.
The subsequent development consists mainly in the closure of the blastopore, and an increase in the number of the epiblast cells.
The folds of which it is formed are composed both of epiblast and mesoblast.
The epiblast of the stomodaeum, in which the other teeth are developed, passes into the hypoblast of the mesenteron in which these pharyngeal teeth are formed.
At a very early stage of development involutions of the surface epiblast give rise to the three pairs of special sense organs--the olfactory or nasal organs in front, the optic in the middle, and the auditory behind.
The separation of the solid nervous system from the epiblast takes place relatively very late; and, before it has been completed, the first traces of the auditory pits, of the optic vesicles, and of the olfactory pits are visible.
In my specimens theepiblast along the line of infolding of this part of the roof of the brain is much thickened, but what Marshall represents as a pair of outgrowths from it like those of a true nerve (No.

The fact of the epiblast of the neural canal being divided, like the remainder of the layer, into nervous and epidermic parts, cannot, I think, be used as an argument in favour of the opposite view to that here maintained.

Calberla on this point, and, although my own sections do not clearly shew an involution of the outer layer of epiblast cells, the testimony of these two observers must no doubt be accepted on this point.
A short way from the edge the lower layer cells become divided into two distinct layers, a lower one continuous with the hypoblast in the middle line, and an upper one between this and the epiblast (fig.
Outside this, again, is a layer, of somatopleur internally and epiblast externally, the false amnion (f.
Note first that the epiblast along the mid-dorsal line is sinking in to form what is called the neural plate (n.
Epiblast is indicated by a line of dashes, mesoblast by dots, and hypoblast, dark or black.
