As compared with the septal furrow of Crypto-branchus this groove is greatly exaggerated in Petromyzon, con-stricting the egg so that in some cases it assumes an hour-glassform. As suggested by Hatta, the boundary groove or septal furrowis passive in origin, and a product of gastrulation. Similar con-ditions have produced it in two such widely separated forms asCryptobranchus and Petromyzon; in each case the egg containsconsiderable yolk, and the roof of the blastocoele is unusually 496 BERTRAM G.
