FIGURE 11. Dorsal view of an embryo with fourteen pairs of
mesoblastic somites. The area pellucida and the developing vascular
area are shown, the latter having a mottled appearance. The pushing
of the head under the blastoderm is also shown. × 20. (Drawn chiefly
by transmitted light.)
FIGURES 11_a_-11_k_. A series of transverse sections of an embryo of
this stage. × 43.
FIGURE 12. Dorsal view of an embryo with about seventeen pairs of
mesoblastic somites. Part of the area pellucida is represented. (Both
transmitted and reflected light were used in making the drawing.) ×
13.
FIGURES 12_a_-12_g_. A series of transverse sections of an embryo of
this stage. × 43.
FIGURE 13. Surface view of an embryo with about twenty pairs of
mesoblastic somites. × (about) 15. (Drawn with both reflected and
transmitted light.)
FIGURES 13_a_-13_f_. A series of transverse sections of an embryo
slightly more developed than the one shown in Figure 13. × 20.
FIGURE 13_g_. A sagittal section of an embryo of about the age of the
one represented in Figure 13. × 20.
14. Head of an embryo with one pair of gill clefts; ventro-lateral
view. × 13.
15. Profile view of the head of an embryo with three pairs of gill
clefts. × 13.
FIGURES 15_a_-15_e_. A series of transverse sections of an embryo of
about the age of the one represented in Figure 15. × 20.
FIGURE 15_f_. A horizontal section through the anterior region of an
embryo of the age of that shown in Figure 15. × 20.
16. Surface view in profile of an embryo with four pairs of gill
clefts. × (about) 12.
FIGURES 16_a_-16_f_. A series of transverse sections of an embryo of
the approximate age of the one represented in Figure 16. × 20.
FIGURE 16_g_. A sagittal section of an embryo of the age (possibly
slightly younger) of the one represented in Figure 16. × 20.
17. Surface view in profile of an embryo at the time of origin of the
limbs. × (about) 5.
FIGURES 17_a_-17_g_. A series of transverse sections of an embryo of
the age of the one represented in Figure 17. × 7.
FIGURE 18. Surface view in profile of the head of an embryo slightly
larger than, though of about the same state of development as, the
one represented in Figure 17. Reproduced here chiefly to show the
gill clefts. × (about) 3.
19. Surface view of an embryo somewhat more developed than the one
just described. × (about) 3.
FIGURE 20. Surface view of an embryo older than the one represented
in Figure 19; with well-developed manus and pes. × (about) 5.
FIGURES 20_a_-20_j_. A series of transverse sections of an embryo of
the age of the one represented in Figure 20. × 7.
FIGURE 21. A photograph of a living embryo in the egg, showing the
allantois, yolk mass, etc. The embryo is somewhat more developed than
the one shown in Figure 20. × ²⁄₃.
