It appears probable that this bilat- erally symmetrical, morphogenetic cleavage has encroached upon the spiral period during the course of phylogenetic development and short- ened it, and that, in addition, inde- pendent modifications have arisen in the different groups, thus altering the relations of the constituent ele- ments. A study of the differences in cleavage in various forms brings to light a number of facts which appear to justify these conclusions. In the following paragraphs I have brought together some of the facts which appear to me to furnish evidence upon these points. I.

Meager as are the data for a comparison between the different larger groups, they indicate what I believe will be amply demonstrated in the future, viz., that as the process of development becomes viore and viore highly modified, the strictly spiral ^^—Arenkoia Para- cleavage, when originallypresetit, gives zvay troch just before ventral ends _ _ are brought into contact by the at aji increasingly early stage to a tnorpho- concrescence of somatic plate.
