Finally, O. Hertwig (1849- 1922) has emphasized the fact that the different lines do not all start alike with the same egg stage. There are eggs and eggs. possibilities not attained by the fish egg. Thus, the eggs of the various groups, or "species-cells" as Hertwig calls them, have ac- complished an evolution in themselves and attained different levels mammals *-*^ possibility, with the result that the mammalian egg has a flying start over the fish egg, and be- comes in consequence an adult. 6 6 Morgan's " Repetition ; The mammalian egg has reptiles.
