THE pars membranacea  is not only the thinnest portion of the interventricular septum, but is also in part of its extent a structure separating the
right auricle from the cavity of the aortic vestibule; it cannot therefore be
considered as merely a part of a structural system, more or less simple,
which divides the heart into right and left sides, for the aortic vestibule is
formed to the right of the plane of the interventricular septum, and is
associated with the region of the earlier bulb.
 
 
Some little time ago it was suggested to me by Sir John Broadbent that
a series of models showing the main points in cardiac development would
be of value in demonstrating to clinical students the bearing of these points
on certain lesions of the organ. I undertook to make such a series, and
used the sections of embryos of 5 mm. and upwards which I possess, in the
work. Many of the models were so cut up in endeavouring to follow the
development as exemplified in them that they were useless for subsequent
demonstration : this, however, caused me little regret, for I had determined
at an early stage that the purpose with which the work had been undertaken would be served best by constructing “schematic” models——made
with a free hand, founded on the actual reconstructions, but only showing
the general and main conditions, so that they would bear to the real models
the same relation that a scheme or diagram on paper bears to the structure
or conception of which it is used as an illustration of some particular aspect
or condition. Anyone who has worked with reconstruction models of the
heart will agree, I think, that they are very diflicult to read, after the
earlier stages, owing to the rapidly growing complexity of detail and
inability to see more than a small part of each cavity at once, and such
models would certainly be quite useless for the purpose of teaching
students.
 
 
The subject of the present paper presented itself as an important one
early in the Work, because it seemed that clear-cut ideas on the formation
of the region were necessary for a proper understanding of development in
the immediate neighbourhood. Three of the schematic models illustrate
this subject, and I propose to utilise the plan of their construction in the
