A bstract — The development of the central part of the face was studied in the embryonic stages from the CR 10 mm length stage to the CR 30 mm length stage with particular attention to the development and disappearance of the nasal fin and its association with cleft lip. Two embryos with cleft of the primary palate are described, and a skull with congenital absence of the primary palate. Synchronous and asynchronous closure of the palate folds and the probable aetiology of the maxillo‐septal syndrome are described.
