But it receives a larger supply of yolk on this account, sothat the nutritive provision within the egg is sufficient to develop theperfect animal. There is only one exception to this, and it is of specialtheoretical interest, because it shows more plainly than any otherfact that the greater or less degree of condensation in the ontogenydepends upon the combined effect of the external conditions of
