Fig. 1. Head of Embryo (4 to 9 mm)

Head of embryo of 4 to 9 mm, seen from the left. P. pericardium; C. 1, first cervical myotome; Ot.,otocyst.

The precervical sinus, a result of the disproportionate size and growth of the outer pharyngeal arches,begins to show on the surface at an early stage. Fig.1 (PI.I), the head of an embryo of less than 5 mm. in total length, gives a very good idea of this early appearance of the sinus, and of its boundaries. The third and fourth arches are visible in a triangular area, slightly depressed, in front of which the second arch is prominent and its groove very evident. Above and behind is a clearly defined broad area, especially well marked behind. The pericardium is below the sinus, but does not form its lower boundary directly: this is made by a clearly seen epipericardial ridge, which is continuous behind with the caudal boundary, and disappears from view, in front, below the lowest visible part of the third arch. The upper, hinder, and lower boundaries are thus continuous with each other round the field of the sinus, and require more particular examination.
