The external glomeruli of the avian embryo were described by Gasser (1879), Balfour & Sedgwick (1878, 1879) and Sedgwick (1880, 1881). Sedgwick described the detailed development of the external glomeruli in the chick and showed that they were continuous caudally with the Malpighian bodies of the mesonephros through a short transition zone. At this level, external and internal glomeruli were seen to be continuous with each other through their vascular cores. A similar series of external and transitional glomeruli was described by Wiedersheim (1890) in the Crocodilia and Chelonia, and was considered by him to represent a gradual craniocaudal transition from the pronephros to the mesonephros. The external glomeruli of the duck were stated by several authors (Sedgwick, 1880; Mihalkovics, 1885) to be better developed than in the chick. Accordingly, the early excretory system of the duck has been compared with that of the chick, crocodile, alligator and turtle.
