NORMAL STAGES OF THE CHICK 63<br />

Visceral arches: The gap between m<strong>and</strong>ible <strong>and</strong> beak has<br />

narrowed to a small notch. “Collar” inconspicuous or absent.<br />

Peather-germs: On dorsal surface, continuous from brachial<br />

to lumbo-sacral level. Approximately 7 rows at limbo-sacral<br />

level. Distinct feather papillae on thigh. One indistinct row<br />

on each lateral edge of the tail.<br />

Xcleral papillae: Usually 6; 4 on the dorsal side near the<br />

4.<br />

choroid fissure, <strong>and</strong> two on the opposite side.<br />

Stage 32. (ca. ‘it days).<br />

1. Limbs: All digits <strong>and</strong> 4 toes have lengthened conspicuously.<br />

Rudiment of 5th toe has disappeared. Webs between digits <strong>and</strong><br />

toes are thin <strong>and</strong> their contours are concave. Differences in<br />

2.<br />

size of individual digits <strong>and</strong> toes become conspicuous.<br />

Visceral arches: Anterior tip of m<strong>and</strong>ible has reached the<br />

beak. “ Collar” has disappeared or is faintly recognizable.<br />

Peather-germs: Eleven rows or more on dorsal surface at<br />

3.<br />

level of the legs. One row on tail distinct, second row in-<br />

Idistinct. Scapular <strong>and</strong> flight feather-germs barely perceptible<br />

at optimal illumination or absent.<br />

4. Scleral papillae: Six to 8, in two groups; one group on<br />

dorsal <strong>and</strong> one on ventral side. Circle not yet closed.<br />

Stage 33. (ca. 74-8 days).<br />

1. Limbs: Web on radial margin of arm <strong>and</strong> first digit becomes<br />

discernible. All digits <strong>and</strong> toes lengthened.<br />

2. Visceral arches: M<strong>and</strong>ible <strong>and</strong> neck have lengthened con-<br />

3.<br />

spicuously. (Compare the ventral contour of boldy, from heartregion,<br />

along neck to tip of m<strong>and</strong>ible, in this <strong>and</strong> the preceding<br />

stages.)<br />

Peather-germs: Scapular <strong>and</strong> flight feather-germs not much<br />

advanced over stage 32. Tail: three rows distinct, the middle<br />

row considerably larger than the others.<br />

4. Scleral papillae: Thirteen, forming an almost complete<br />

circle, with gap for one missing papilla at a ventral point near<br />

the middle of the jaw.<br />

Stage 34.<br />

(ca. 8 (days).<br />

1. Limbs: Differential growth of second digit <strong>and</strong> third toe<br />

conspicuous. Contours of webs between digits <strong>and</strong> toes are<br />

concave <strong>and</strong> arched.<br />

Visceral arches: Lengthening of m<strong>and</strong>ible <strong>and</strong> of neck con-<br />

tinues (see previous stage).<br />

Peather-germs: On scapula, on ventral side of neck, on pro-<br />

coracoid, <strong>and</strong> posterior (flight) edge of wing, feather-germs<br />

are visible under good illumination. Feather-germs next to
