The segmen-tation of both [epiblastic and hypoblastic cells] continues; in thecourse of it the epiblastic sphere- spread farther and farther over thehypoblast, so that at the close of segmentation the hypoblast spheresconstitute a central solid mass almost entirely surrounded by the epi-blast spheres. In a small circular area, however, the hypoblast spheresremain for some time exposed on the surface (Fig- 16, A, lyp).. Optiml Sections of an Oosperm of a Rabbit, at two stages closely following upon segmentation(from Balfour,after Ed. v.
