EMBRYOLOGY OF ECHINODERMS. 



Ill 



In a side view (Fig. 62), the outline of the body 

 is much as it was at the last stage, but the ecto- 

 derm is pushed inwards between 

 the ciliated ridge (c), and the 

 anterior lobe (), so as to nearly 

 meet the digestive tract, thus indi- 

 cating the point (m), where the 

 mouth is soon to be formed by the C, 

 union of the ectoderm of the ante- 

 rior end of the body to the endo- 

 derm of the inner end of the prima- 

 tive digestive cavity.
