This cell contains little or no deutoplasm and undergoes no perceptible changes of substance. The collapse of the rule is most complete in case of the rudi- mentary cells referred to above. In some of the annelids, in Aricia, where they were first observed,^ these cells are derived from the very large primary mesoblast-cell, which first divides into equal halves. Each of these then buds forth a cell so small as to be no larger than a polar body, and then immediately proceeds to give rise 1 Cf.
