Note 190 — Chapter XVI
Reading edition
It appears to me possible that Lieberkühn may be right in stating that the epithelium of Descemet’s membrane grows in between the lens and the epiblast before the formation of the cornea proper, and that Kessler’s account, given above, may on this point require correction. From the structure of the eye in the Ammocœte it seems probable that Descemet’s membrane is continuous with the choroid.
