Abstract
To discuss development in terms of developmental acts is a way of emphasizing process over structure. We know that in its essence development is a matter of continual change, where in a sense division into stages is artificial, but most of our techniques tend to display it as a progression from one static anatomical time section to another, and an organism attains respectability as embryological research material when it is accorded a “normal table” of developmental stages. These units of description are necessary, but other units are required which more accurately reflect the perpetual flux of development, which identify phases within it without breaking it up, phases which have labile limits, not precise beginnings and ends.
