    Abstract:
    Development of the retinopetal system of the larval sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, was investigated following labelling of this system by injection of horseradish peroxidase into the orbit. This study extends our previous report on larval stages and provides a detailed description of the development of this system. We present quantitative and qualitative evidence suggesting that the retinopetal nuclei of Schober's M2-M5 nucleus, the mesencephalic reticular area and the tectum arise sequentially in that order, that the three retinopetal nuclei originate from a common anlage in the ventricular zone of the mesencephalic tegmentum and that the retinopetal cell population increases throughout the larval period. No neuronal death was observed. We also describe and discuss the significance of a transitory phase of retinopetal cell differentiation characterized by the presence of ventricular dendrites. Finally, we compare the development of retinopetal and retinofungal systems.
