as also undoubtedly thecase in all extinct Gastrseads. In all Primitive Animals(Protozoa) the nerve-system is, of course, unrepresented, forthese have not as yet attained to the development of germ-layers. In considering the individual development of the nerve-system in the human embryo, we must fiist of all start fromthe important fact already mentioned, that the first rudi-ment of the system is the simple medullary tube, whichdetaches itself from the outer germ-layer along the middleline of the lyre-shaped primitive germ. We found (Figs.85-87, vol. i. p. 298) that the rectilineal primitive groove, ordorsal furiow, first arises in the centre of the lyre-shapedgerm-disc. On each side of this rise the two parallel dorsalor medullary swellings. The free margins of these bend to-wards each other, coalesce, and form the closed medullaiy tube(Figs. 88-93, vol. i. pp. 300-309). At first this tube lies directlyunder the horn-plate; it is, however, afterwards situate 2l8 THE EVOLUTION OF MAN,
