The part which remains outside f omis the external layer orectoderm, and that which is doubled in is the internal layer or entoderm. TheIDrotembryo or blastoderm thus assumes the foim of the bilaminar gastnda ofHaeckel, communicating with the exterior by the now narrowed aperture calledblastopore, and representing in fact the simplest form of an alimentary cavity. Complete Segmentation in Mammals.—The Mammals comenext to the Amphioxus in the completeness and regularity of the seg-mentation, but they differ from it both in the early distinction of theupper and lower blastodermic cells and in the absence of any obviousinvagination of the vesicular blastoderm. The segmentation of the mammiferous ovum had been seen by MartinBarry, but its general features Avere first clearly demonstrated by the im-portant researches of BischoflF.
