Fig. 62. — The head of the same embryo from beneath more 

 highly magnified. In this drawing an attempt is made to 

 show different levels of the embryo superposed: thus the 

 heart is uppermost in the figure, beneath this the fore-gut 

 (F. G.), beneath this the notochord, and at the lowest level, 

 the neural tube,

 head that it becomes possible to determine the hind end of the
