Eledone eledone00isgr Year: 1909 00 are cells of the germinal wall, which sink below the general epithelium, and then protrude into the ovary, pushing the wall before them until they are completely surrounded by an epithelial layer, several cells thick. The egg itself becomes surrounded by a special nourishing or follicular layer, at the expense of the surrounding cells. With the growth of the ovum, this layer becomes actually folded into the egg substance (PI. IX, fig. Cub. foil.), to increase its surface of contact with the ovum. Further protrusion and folding of the germinal wall gives rise to the characteristic racemes (PL Y, fig. 41, egg. R-). Finally the follicle secretes the chorion round the mature ovum, which now escapes, bursting through the covering layers (fig. Q7b, C. T.), and then passing out by the oviduct. Fig. VII.
