The blastocoel is small in relation to the size of the egg (Eycleshymer, 1895). 2) Lepidosiren paradoxa. The egg of the South American lungfish, Lepidosiren paradoxa, measures about to 7 mm. in diameter. Cleavage of the egg is complete (, holoblastic), and a relatively large blastocoel is formed. As in Ambystoma, the blastocoel is displaced toward the animal pole. The floor of the blastocoel is formed by the large, yolk-laden macromeres. The first two cleavage furrows are approximately meridional (fig. 150A, B). These two furrows are followed by four vertical furrows, which, when com- pleted, form eight blastomeres (fig. 150C). The latter cleavages are subject to much variation. Although cleavage of the egg is complete, a distinct mero- blastic pattern of cleavage is found, composed of two meridional furrows followed by vertical furrowing (see Kerr, '09). 3) Necturus maculosus. In this species of amphibia the egg is large and its contained yolk is greater than that of Ambystoma. It measures about 5 to 6 mm. in diameter. The egg and its envelopes are attached individually by the female beneath the flattened surface of a stone (Bishop, '26). Cleavage in this egg proceeds slowly. The first two cleavage furrows tend to be meridional, but variations may occur in different eggs. Sometimes they are more vertical than meridional (fig. 151 A). (See Eycleshymer, '04). The.
