There are, accordingly, two means by which membranes of ascidian eggs may be removed. The enzyme produced by developing ascidian tadpoles may be collected and concentrated, or a suitable and more readily obtainable substitute may be found. It was discovered that dona, Phallusia, Ascidia, and Ascidiella eggs remained about 100 per cent viable at 18° C. for a little over twenty-four hours, so that any enzyme mixture to be of use must be effective within that Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
