Cowperthwaite (1925) has criticized Allen's data On the grounds that he gives no demonstration of the presence of meiosis in these presumable new ova. Typical meiotic phenomena in adult ovaries have, in fact, rarely been ob- served. De Winiwarter (1920) noted oocyte formation in the region of the hilum in ovaries of cats shortly after puberty but no such process in the remaining tissue, and Gerard
