Fig, 127. — Human eg^ between the twelfth and thirteenth day. After 

 Allen Thomson. 1. Not opened ; natural size. 2. Opened, and enlarged. 

 Within the outer tufted membrane {clwrion')the small curved germ lies upon 

 the left of the upper side of the large intestinal germ.vesicle. 



Fig. 128. — Human egg on the fifteenth day. After Allen Thomson. 

 Natural size, and opened. The small germ lies in the upper right-hand part 

 of the right half. 



Fig. 129. — Human germ on the fifteenth day, taken from the egg\ 

 enlarged : a, yelk-sac ; h, region of the neck (where the medullary furrow is 

 already closed) ; c, head part (with open medullary furrow) ; d, hind part 

 (with open medullary furrow) ; e, a shred of the amnion. 



Fig. 130. — Human egg between the twentieth and twenty-second day. 

 After Allen Thomson. Natural size ; opened. The outer tufted membrane 

 (chorion) forms a capacious vesicle, to the inner wall of which the small 

 g;rm (above, on the right) is attached by a short navel-cord. 



Fig. 131. — Human germ between the twentieth and twenty-second day, 

 taken out of the egg; enlarged : a, amnion; h, yelk-sac ; c, lower jaw process 

 of the first gill-arch ; d, upper jaw process of the same ; e, second gill-arch 

 (behind it are two other small arches). Three gill-openings are very plainly 

 seen ; /, rudiments of the 'fore-limbs ; g, ear-vesicle ; h, eye ; i, heart.
