Here the lower hemisphere of the ^g'g does not divide at all, or only at a late period, segmentation being confined to a disc- like region or blastoderm at one pole of the o.^^ (Fig. 124). Very interesting is the case of the teloblasts or pole-cells character- istic of the development of many annelids and mollusks and found in some arthropods. These remarkable cells are large blastomeres, set aside early in the development, which bud forth smaller cells in reg-.
