 sented in the figure. They may easily be found with the higher power. In the 

 median plane is the crescent-shaped section of the pharynx, Ph. Between the 

 jugular vein and the pharynx lie? the fourth aortic arch, Ao. 4. The right and 

 left arches are at this stage about equal in size, although the left arch is Destined
