Otic pit
The auditory pit, also known as the otic pit, is the first rudiment of the internal ear. It appears shortly after that of the eye, in the form of a patch of thickened ectoderm, the auditory plate, over the region of the hind-brain. The auditory plate becomes depressed and converted into the auditory pit (or otic pit).

Charles-Joseph Marie Pitard
Charles-Joseph Marie Pitard, name sometimes given as Charles-Joseph Marie Pitard-Briau (1872 – January 1928) was a French pharmacist and botanist.
In 1899 he obtained his doctorate in natural sciences at the University of Bordeaux, later serving as a professor at the school of medicine in Tours. He conducted botanical and exploratory investigations in the Canary Islands (1904–06), Tunisia (1907–10 & 1913) and Morocco (1911–13). Many of his plant collections were sent to herbaria in Geneva and Paris.
He was the taxonomic authority of numerous botanical taxa. The genus Pitardia (Batt. ex Pit.) is named in his honor, as are plants with the specific epithets of pitardii and pitardiana.
Published works
Pitard also made significant contributions to the "Flore générale de L'Indo-Chine" (General flora of Indochina).
