STUDY OF YOUNG CHICK EMBRYOS. 



the septum transversum is formed also upon the right side of the body of the em- 

 bryo. The mesothelium between the upper division of the coelom, Cos, and the 

 sides of the entodermal canal is very much thickened and deeply stained. On 

 either side of the very large median aorta, Ao, and just above the coelom, appear

 little need be said, except to call attention to the large raphe, raph, of the amnion, 

 which is now a rather conspicuous ectodermal thickening and seems to be formed
