Meroblastic Eggs with Partial Cleavage. 3. Discoidal Cleavage.—The yolk is so collected in the vegeta- tive iiortion of the egg that it jircveutscleavage;cleavage, there- fore, is limited to the region around the animal pole and here forms a disc of small cells, the anlage of the embryo, or hla^fo- (leriii (telolecithal, meroblastic eggs) (figs. 90, 103). 4. Siqjerficial Cleavage.—The yolk is collected in the centre of the egg and prevents cleavage; in conse(iuence of this only the outer layer of the egg divides into cells, which, in the form of a continuous superficial layer, enclose the unsegmented central mass (centrolecithal eggs) (fig. 104)..
