O L M O L 695 The embryonic cells continue to divide, and form an oval vesicle containing liquid (fig. 149); within this, at one pole, is seen the mass of invaginated cells (fig. 150, hy). These invaginated cells are the arch-enteron ; they proliferate and give off branching cells, which apply themselves (fig. 150, C) to the inner face of the vesicle, thus forming the meso- Fio. 152.

The little mass of hypoblast or enteric cell -mass now en larges, but remains con nected with the cicatrix of the blastopore or orifice of invagination by a stalk, the rectal peduncle (fig. 151, A, rp). The enteron itself be comes bilobed and is joined by a new invagination, that of the mouth and stomo- dyeum, ph.

The pharynx or stomodyeum is still small, the foot not yet prominent. A later stage is seen in fig. 152, where the pharynx is widely open and the foot pro minent. No ciliated velum or pne-oral (cephalic) lobe ever develops. The shell-gland disappears, the mantle- skirt is raised as a ridge (fig. 151, E, mn), the paired shell-valves are secreted, the anus opens by a proctodteal ingrowth into the rectal peduncle, and the rudiments of the gills (br) and of the nephridia (B) appear (figs. 151, F, and 153, dorsal and lateral views of same stage), and thus the chief organs and general form of the adult are acquired. Later changes, not drawn here, consist in the growth of the shell-valves over the whole area of the mantle-flaps, and in the multiplication of the gill-fila ments and their consolidation to form gill- plates. It is important to note that the gill-filaments are formed one by one posteriorly. The labial tentacles are formed late. In the allied genus Cyclas, a byssus gland is formed in the foot and subsequently disappears, but no such gland occurs in Pisidium. The nerve-ganglia and the otocysts probably form from thickenings of the epiblast, but detailed observation on this and other points of histogenesis in the Lamellibranchia is still wanting.
