The first or granular part of the yolk constitutes a thin disc, limited to one region of the surface, — viz., the upper side in the vicinity of the place occupied by the germinal vesicle, while the cellular substance of the yolk forms the larger spherical mass of the egg. Besides these two, there are also various intermediate forms, which seem to be stages of transition between the other kinds of struc- lural elements. The germinal vesicle in the ripe ovarian ovulum, is situated in the centre of the granular disc, and after its disappear- ance, the process of segmentation is limited to that disc. The germinal or blastodermic mem- brane, or layer of cells, extends, therefore,"at first, no farther than this granular disc, and
