Figures 3A-3D. A series of transverse sections through an embryo of the stage of the one shown in figure 3. 43.

Figure 4. A surface view of an embryo with about twenty pairs of somites. (about) 15.

Figures 4A-4D. A series of transverse sections through the anterior end of an embryo of the approximate age of the one shown in figure 4. 20.

Figures 4E and 4F. Two transverse sections through the thyroid gland of this stage; more highly magnified. 102.

Figures 4G-4M. A series of transverse sections caudad to the preceding.

Figure 4H, 43; other figures, 20.

Figure 5. A surface view, in profile, of an embryo at the time of the origin of the limbs. (about) 5.

Figures 5A-5I. A series of transverse sections through an embryo of the age shown in figure 5. 7.

Figure 5J. A composite drawing of reconstructions of the enterons of two embryos of the age of the one shown in figure 5. One reconstruction was in wax, from sagittal sections, the other was a plotted reconstruction from transverse sections. 14.

Figure 6A. A reconstruction, plotted from transverse sections, of the enteron of an embryo of about the age of the one shown in figure 6.
