The American journal of anatomy . a O 0„ ° o o O c. Fig. 2 ones appear in the middle zone. Likewise, the smallest granulesdo not appear in the lower zone.

The yolkgranules undergo little change during the early part of develop-ment. A brief account of the later history of the granules is givenhere in order to afford a connected account of the distributionof egg materials into some of the embryonic organs. In fig. 14,a vertical section of an eight-celled stage, the general distributionof yolk granules has been represented; / indicates the regionoccupied mostly by fine granules, i the region of intermediategranules and y the region of large granules.
