 rudiments, then the antennae originate caudad of the future

At Stage VIII the procephalic lobes have undergone considera- 

 ble change both in position and form. The entire germ band has 

 increased in length, thereby bringing its anterior end around the 

 cephalic pole of the egg, so that the procephalic lobes are now 

 curved in a semicircle, their anterior ends lying on the dorsal 

 side of the egg and directed toward the caudal pole. The 

 procephalic lobes have meanwhile become subdivided into 

 three lobes, the three pairs constituting respectively the proto- 

 cerebrum, deutocerebrum and tritocerebrum, each of which rises
