VI. Development of Cavities and Organs 25 



Formation of (1) anterior and (2) posterior coelom, and of (3) middle chamber or euteron, 

 25. 



(1) Anterior C'celom and its Derivatives 26 



Formation of right and left lateral diverticula, 26 ; hydroporio canal, 26 ; preoral 

 coelom, 26 ; epiderm of preoral lobe partly incorporated with oral surface 

 of Starfish, 27 ; separation of the right lateral diverticulum from axial coelom, 

 27 ; the hydrocoele groove, 28 ; formation of first five radial pouches, 28 ; forma- 

 tion of succeeding radial pouches, 28 ; relation of stalk of preoral ccelom to 

 hydrocoele ring, 29 ; relation of pouch I to posterior coelom, 29 : the dorsal sac, 

 29; axial part of anterior ccelom, 29 ; internal oral circular sinus, 30; axial 

 organ, 30 ; stone-canal, 31 ; relation of madreporic pores to stone-canal and axial 

 sinus, 31 ; pouch IX/I of external oral circular sinus, 31. 



(2) Posterior Ccelom and its Derivatives 32 



Dorsal and ventral horns, 32; extension of the horns, and the part played by them 

 in separating preoral coelom from axial and epigastric coeloms, 32 ; septum in 

 madreporic interradius enclosing axial complex, 32 ; iuterbrachial septa, 33 ; 

 extension of hypogastric coelom on oral and aboral surfaces of enteron, 33 ; cir- 

 cular epigastric mesentery, 33 ; aboral ligaments of stomach and paired cceca, 

 34 ; formation and extension of phar3fngeal ccslom, 34 ; the circular hypogastric 

 mesentery, 35 ; hypogastric ligaments of stomach, 35; formation and subsequent 

 growth of pouches of external oral circular sinus, 35 ; genital rachis, &c., 36. 



(3) The Enteron 36 



Radial lobes of stomach, 38 ; mouth, 39 ; anus, 39 ; paired radial caeca, 40 ; rectal 

 caeca, 40. 



VII. Development of the Skeleton 41 



Sequence in appearance of ambulacral and adambulacral plates, 41 ; plates of central and 

 marginal parts of disc, 41 ; terminals double, 42 ; transition to adult reticulum, 42 ; 

 development and grouping of spines, 43 ; the denticles, 43. 



VIII. Histology 43 



MesencJiyme and Toll; 43 ; intracellular digestion of yolk, 44 ; reserve store retained in 



the mesenchyme, &o., 44 ; a more highly-yolked Starfish egg, 44 ; the hypenchyme, 45 ; 



yolk-granules in the enteron wall, 45.

 Nervous System of larva, 46 ; relation to that of adult, 47 ; larval nervous system in other 



Echinoderms, 47.
