Fig. 52. Transverse section through the region of the stomach of an embryo
15 millims. in length, shortly after hatching, to shew the glomerulus and peritoneal
funnel of pronephros.
Fig. 53. Transverse section through posterior part of the body of an embryo,
about a month after hatching, shewing the structure of the mesonephros, the spiral
valve, &c.
PLATE 39.
Figs. 54, 55, 56, and 57 are a series of transverse sections through the genital
ridge and mesonephros of one side from a larva of 11 centims.
Fig. 54. Section of the lymphatic organ which lies in front of the
mesonephros.
Fig. 55. Section near the anterior end of the mesonephros, where the
genital sack is completely formed.
Fig. 56. Section somewhat further back, shewing the mode of formation
of the genital sack.
Fig. 57. Section posterior to the above, the formation of the genital
sack not having commenced, and the genital ridge with primitive
germinal cells projecting freely into the body-cavity.
Fig. 58A. View of the testis, mesorchium, and duct of the kidney of the
left side of an adult male example of _Lepidosteus_, 60 centims. in length,
shewing the vasa efferentia and the longitudinal canal at the base of the
mesorchium. The kidney ducts have been cut open posteriorly to shew the
structure of the interior.
Fig. 58B. Inner aspect of the posterior lobe of the testis from the same
example, to shew the vasa efferentia forming a network on the face of the
testis.
Figs. 59A and B. Two sections shewing the structure and relations of the
