Figs. 16, 17. — Transverse sections of chick embryo at different 

 levels, to indicate developmental gradients: Fig. 16 indicates the condi- 

 tion of the posterior half or more of the stage of Fig. 14 and of the 

 extreme posterior region of the stage of Fig. 15; Fig. 17 indicates the 

 condition at the level of the sixth somite of Fig. 15; the region of most 

 intense de\ elopmental activity is primarily median dorsal, and develop- 

 ment progresses in general laterally and ventrally (from Child, 1915c).
