Thisunites with the female pronucleus to form the •~&&spCT^n -tfiMrrsWSpiiTT. THe female pro-nucleus is formed in the fol-lowing manner: Within a fewhours after impregnation theprotoplasmic yelk undergoes aprocess of shrinkage, so that atransparent space is seen toexist between it and the vitel-line membrane.
