At this stage of human development the embryo is in all essential

 difference between the human embryo of four weeks and that of a 

 horse, ox, dog or rabbit at its corresponding stage of development. If

FIGS. 33, 34, 35, 36, top row, represent the embryos of fish, chick, hog, and man, at an 

 early age. 



FIGS. 37,38, 39, 40. Same at a more advanced period, after formation of limbs and 

 brain bladders, &c., has begun. 



. FIGS. 41, 42, 43, 44. A still more advanced age, in which gill openings are lost (except 

 in the fish) and the limbs more developed. The figures are magnified, the top ones the 

 most. The allantois, yelk sac and amnion are left off. Letters the same in all.
