Fig. 30 Four figures from a series of cross sections of an egg-cylinder of the 

 albino rat in the stage of development shown in figure 29. X 200. Rat No. 42, 

 8 days, 16 hours after insemination. 



The levels at which the several sections drawn were taken is approximately 

 indicated by the several crosses found to the left of figure 29. A, middle of 

 ectoplacent.il cone; B, ectoplacent.il end of the proanmiotic cavity; (', just above 

 level of junction of the primary embryonic and extraembryonic ectoderm; a 

 little above the middle of primary embryonic ectoderm. The want of any definite 

 bilateral symmetry of albino rat egg-cylinders of this stage of development is 

 shown by this series of sections; p.ect., parietal or transitory ectoderm; ex.ect., 

 extraembryonic ectoderm, surrounding mesometrial portion of proamniotic cav- 

 ity; pr. emb. ect., primary embrj'onic ectoderm; v. ent., visceral entoderm; p.emb. 

 ent., primary embryonic entoderm; pr.c, proanmiotic cavity.
