Hencethe dorsal and ventral lips are formed respectively at approxi-mately equal distances from the yegetal pole, though the ventra)lip is formed much later than the dorsal. We may now computethe amounts of overgrowth of the dorsal and the ventral lipsrespectively: at the close of Stage 12 the dorsal lip has overgrownthe yolk for an average distance of 55 degrees, and the ventrallip has advanced toward it through an arc of about 55 degrees; 504 BERTRAM G.
