Plate 5. Photographs showing changes occurring in the auricle of the human fetus during the fourth month

The photographs shown on plate 5 represent the changes occurring in the auricle during the fourth month of intrauterine life. As compared with the photographs on plate 4, the principal change is a relative decrease in the size of the crus helicis and tragus. Corresponding to this, it is possible to recognize a conchal cavity which has heretofore been nothing more than a cleft. The concha in the first two photographs (figures 42 and 43) appears to me a little exaggerated, due, probably, to the shrinkage of the auricle. Judging from the preceding and succeeding photographs, the average auricle at this time would be somewhat plumper in appearance. Owing to the fact that these are thinner, one can see for the first time the presence of the plica principalis.

In some cases the right ear was selected and reversed for convenience in comparison. These are indicated by the letter R. All the photographs are taken at an enlargement of 6 diameters.

Specimens are from the Carnegie Collection, and length given is crown-rump.
