Fig. 2. Carnegie Embryo No. 792

8 mm

Stage 2, 8 mm. (fig. 2, plate 1). The second stage, represented by the reconstruction model of an 8-mm. embryo, shows considerable advance in the development of the genital tubercle. This now forms a somewhat rounded mass which occupies almost the entire area between the umbilical cord and the base of the tail. Its cranial margin is but barely indicated by a slight groove between its apex and the umbilical cord. The apex is broadly rounded and from it the slightly convex caudal surface slopes toward the base of the tail. The caudal slope is almost bisected by the urethral groove, a shallow depression extending from the base to the tip of the tubercle. The basal end of the groove is separated from the anal pit by a narrow transverse bar. It is significant that, while there is this external separation of the primitive cloacal groove into the urethral groove and anal pit, the internal division of the cloacal cavity into urogenital sinus and rectum is not yet complete, at least in this embryo. The margins of the urethral groove are but slightly elevated into the urethral folds, although the margins of the anal pit are more pronounced. Laterally the caudal surface of the tubercle is rounded out into pronounced swellings. Almost in front of the tubercle the ventral body-wall bears a pair of swellings Iying in the umbilico-phallic angles, the significance of which has not yet been definitely ascertained. These masses show a gradual increase in size until the embryo reaches a length of 16 mm. They then apparently disappear in some embryos, while in others they undergo a caudal shifting; this would seem to indicate that they are the primordia of the labio-scrotal swellings, which definitely make their appearance in embryos 17 to 19 mm. long. As yet, however, a sufficient number of these younger embryos has not been examined to permit definite conclusions on this point.
