Pig Embryo of 20 mm. 



Sections of this stage are figured. In the practical laboratory work em- 

 bryos a little larger or smaller may serve equally well to illustrate the develop- 

 mental conditions of this stage.

is added to illustrate the development of the palate shelf, Pal. The palate shelf is 

 a large protuberance on the inner side of the maxillary process. Its inner edge 

 abuts against the tongue, Ton, and its upper edge underlies the maxillo-turbinal 

 fold, max. tb, and its lower edge forms part of the roof of the oral cavity, Or. At 

 this stage it consists of a large mass of undifferentiated mesenchyma, covered by
