The formation of the polar globules has taken place at the distal pole. The matura- tion spindle migrated through the entire yolk-mass in the distal hemisphere to reach this position. The sperm-nucleus surrounded by radiations is seen a short distance above the egg-nucleus. The vacuolated area above is the gray cap. , central pole (secondary axis) ; , distal pole (secondary axis). mass to penetration by the spindle. This conclusion is clearly demonstrated by study of series of sections of eggs preserved at regular intervals after centrifuging and fertilizing, which show that many such eggs fail to form the polar bodies at all, or are much delayed, or undergo their maturation divisions within the egg-.
