Such eggs either do not divide at all or undergo an irregular multiple cleavage and soon perish. If, how- ever, only two spermatozoa enter, the &g'g may develop for a time. Thus Driesch has determined the interesting fact, which I have con- firmed, that sea-urchin eggs into which two spermatozoa have acci- dentally entered undergo a double cleavage, dividing into four at the first cleavage, and forming eight instead of four micromeres at the.
