The origin of the hypophysis and paraphysis is clearly seen; the latter projects backward.
No connection can be seen between the first rudiments of the sympathetic nerves and the central nervous system.
The lumen of the œsophagus is for a time obliterated as in other forms.
The choroid fissure is a very transitory but well-marked feature of the eye.

EXPLANATION OF FIGURES 1-26 ON PLATES VI.-XXVIII.
All of the figures, with the exception of the photographs and those copied by permission from S. F. Clarke, were drawn under a camera lucida.
The magnification of each figure, except those from Clarke, is indicated below.
The photographs were made by the author, and were enlarged for reproduction by the photographic department of the Smithsonian Institution. The other surface views were made, under the author’s direction, by Miss C. M. Reese.
