which represent the first cervical nerve, but they are too indistinct to be repre- 

 sented in the figure. They may easily be found with the higher power. In the 

 median plane is the crescent-shaped section of the pharynx, Ph. Between the 

 jugular vein and the pharynx lies the fourth aortic arch, Ao. 4. The right and 

 left arches are at this stage about equal in size, although the left arch is destined

to form the main aortic arch of the body, and only a portion of the right arch 

 will persist to form a portion of the stem of the pulmonary artery. The figure 

 indicates the manner in which these aortic arches pass up from the heart below 

 on either side of the pharynx. A little above the aortic arch on either side may 

 be seen a small, round spot, Sym, which is somewhat conspicuous on account of
