nervous: system is greatly macerated, the liver has disinte- 
grated and the aorta is greatly distended. The rest of the 
embryo appears normal. The intestine is almost entirely 
within the peritoneal cavity; a single loop of it still remains in 
the opening communicating with the ccelom of the cord. 
The embryo is completely covered with a layer of magma 
which contains but few cells in it. Below this the épidermis 
is wanting at many points, while at other points it appears 
normal. At the edge of the epidermis there is every appear- 
ance of an attempted regeneration, as its border is thickened 
and has rounded and not ragged edges.

Embryo and ovum are apparently normal, with the excep- 
tion of a mass attached to the ovum, which proved to be 
diverticulum, its cavity communicating with the main ccelom. 
The lower part of the embryo is bent upon itself. The whole 
ovum had been preserved without opening it. Some magma 
reticulé is within the ccelom. 
Fic. 80a.—Photograph of the ovum and embryo. Enlarged twice. The 
small additional mass forms a diverticulum of the ovum, the cavity 
of which communicates with the exoccelom through a narrow open- 
ing. The tail of the embryo is twisted.
