. The Biological bulletin. Biology; Zoology; Biology; Marine Biology. A MILKY WHITE AMPHIBIAN EGG JELL. ARTHUR M. BANTA AND ROSS AIKEN GORTNER. While collecting Ambystoma punctatum eggs in April, 1914, the writers found a freshly-laid bunch which had jell of milky whiteness instead of being transparent. The white clutch of eggs was conspicuous among the others even though the jell had as yet swelled very little and the bunch was quite small. The eggs were still undivided. They had the normal amount of pigment. The jell was so clouded that at first no eggs could be seen in the mass without breaking into the jell. The jell imbibed water and the egg bunch soon assumed the normal proportions for the. clutch of this species. The photograph shows the relative- opacity of the white bunch and a normal bunch of eggs of the same age. Only a few eggs were visible in the opaque bunch when the photograph was taken while one could readily see the bottom of the dish through the jell of the normal bunch. The individual outer and inner egg membranes in the white bunch were of normal transparency. This is indicated indistinctly 259.
