Apart from Barnstein & Mossman (1938) investigators of this problem agree that the urethral plate is an outgrowth from the walls of the cloaca and of the urogenital sinus. Some workers (Debierre, 1883; Tourneux, 1889; Schwartztrauber, 1904; Lichtenberg, 1906) consider that the region from which the urethral plate develops is of ectodermal origin, and consequently the urethral plate and the whole penile urethra are derived from ectoderm. Others (Herzog, 1904; Felix, 1912; Johnson, 1920; Williams, 1952) believe that the urogenital sinus is an endodermal derivative. Consequently according to these authors, the urethral plate and the resulting glandar urethra are of endodermal origin, the remainder of the penile urethra developing from the urogenital sinus itself. Van den Broeck (1909) agrees that the urethral plate is of endodermal origin, but considers that it contributes to the lining of all parts of the penile urethra, and that surface epithelium covering the urethral folds is incorporated into the floor of the urethra. Siddiqi (1937) considers that the dorsal half of the urethral plate develops from the urogenital sinus, whereas the ventral part is derived from the ectodermal cloaca. Thus the bulbo-urethral glands, the bulb, the floor of the proximal two-thirds and the whole of the distal third of the urethra are ectodermal, but the roof of the proximal two-thirds of the urethra is purely endodermal in origin. Berry Hart (1908) and Wood Jones (1910, 1914) suggest that the glandar urethra results from the canalization of an ectodermal cord of cells which joins the lumen of the spongy urethra, itself derived from endodermal tissue. Barnstein & Mossman (1938) have enunciated a completely different concept. According to them, the urethral plate develops as an ectodermal ingrowth from the urethral groove along the under surface of the phallus. This ectodermal lamina gives rise to the whole penile urethra and the bulbo-urethral glands.
