divided by two 

 septa into three 

 compartments. The 

 anterior compart- 

 ments, which lead 

 to the common 

 carotid arteries, 

 both enter the un- 

 paired division of 

 the truncus to the 

 right of the septum. 

 The middle com- 

 partments, which 

 lead to the aorta, 

 open into the im- 

 paired portion of 

 the truncus on 

 either side of the 

 septum. 



The posterior 

 compartments, 

 which are con- 

 tinued into the 

 pulmo-cutaneous 

 arches, join each 

 other and open by 

 a common aperture 

 into the bulbus 

 cordis behind the 

 valves at its ante- 

 rior end.
