One of the most interesting and clearly marked of these isthe bilateral symmetry of the ovum in bilateral animals, which issometimes so clearly marked that the exact position of the embryomay be predicted in the unfertilized tgg, sometimes even before it islaid. This is the case, for example, in the cephalopod e^gg, as shownby Watase (Fig. 179). Here the form of the new-laid &gg, beforecleavage begins,
