    fibres are covered with osteoblasts, and as the bone forms, some of these become left as bone-corpuscles -within lacuna?. Thus in every particular the development of these bones resembles that of the sub- periosteal layer of endochondral bone, which is also to be considered as an instance of intramembranous ossification, although taking place on the surface of cartilage. Moreover, it is the same subperiosteal tissue which deposits the true or secondary bone upon those parts of the calcified cartilage-matrix which have escaped absorption; and this must also, therefore, be reckoned as developed according to the same type. In fact, even in intracartilaginous ossification, very little of the calcified cartilage-matrix eventually remains ; this being almost wholly replaced by true or fibrous bone which has been formed by osteoblasts.
