At Elementary Phenomena of Embryonic Development 233 5 P. M. the ectoplasmic band in many eggs had ruptured on oneside transforming it into a saddle-shaped mass, and the two massesof endoplasm met and fused on the opposite side of the egg (). The nuclear area is situated beneath the ectoplasmicaccumulation. It is undoubtedly at this time that the chromatic matter of thenucleus intermingles with the ectoplasm, though I did not observethis in 1904 for the simple reason that the eggs were not examinedunder pressure. But in 1905 this phenomenon was observed asalready Fig. 65 Fig. 64 Fig. 66 Figs. 64 to 70. Later differentiation of uninucleated unsegmented eggs from life. Fig. 64.

Same egg as sixty-five drawn three minutes later; the ectoplasm has overflowed a largepart of the endoplasm. All stages of the rupture of the ectoplasmic band were observed;the notes read all stages may be seen; the granular band (ecto-plasm) first becomes broader on one side, then the yolk masses(endoplasm) approach and fuse and the band ruptures. Thusthe yolk has the characteristic shape shown in the figure. Then the ectoplasm accumulates in a mass (Fig. 65) and 234 Frank R.
