The development of the morphologic features of neurons in the anterior dorsal ventricular ridge (ADVR) has been followed in Golgi preparations from the lizard Gallotia galloti between embryonic stage 32 and post‐eclosion stages of specimens 3.6–4.5 cm in length. The differentiation sequence of multipolar and bitufted neurons was established. Dendritic growth cones are present after stage 34. Filiform dendritic processes are replaced later on by spines. Clusters of neurons first appear at stage 39 in the periventricular zone, the cells becoming Golgi‐impregnated in pairs. After hatching, the number of impregnated cells per cluster increases.
