Weismann suggested that these clusters were the precursors of the adult ommatidia and that the line marks the anterior edge of the eye.

While it is too late to hear from August Weismann, it is a particular pleasure to be able to include a chapter in this Volume from the first author of that 1976 paper: Don Ready!
