Embryos from the 5-somite stage to 16 days were studied. A gradual fading out of the somite-forming tendency in this region seems to be indicated both by the formation of a rudimentary somite and by conditions found in the first true somites. In the rabbit 3 occipital somites form myotomes. The fate of the myotomes is traced until their identity is lost in the formation of definitive muscle masses. From the sclerotomes 2 occipital arches, comparable to those of vertebrae, are formed and can be identified as late as the time of beginning chondrifica-tion. There is a marked compression of the tissues in this region, the sclerotomal material being not only relatively but actually shorter in older embryos, resulting in (1) the approximation of the hypoglossal roots and (2) the fusion of the 2 occipital arches. The cartilaginous basal plate begins development at its caudal end and differentiates anteriorly with little evidence of a primitive segmentation except as this posterior 1st center might be called a segment.
