(After Marshall.) end is reached partly by a process of in-pushing and partly by the overgrowth of the white pole by the dark. The in- pushing and overgrowth take place more on one side of the egg than the other, and these processes are first indicated by the appearance of a crescentic groove a little below the equator of the egg. The crescent represents the beginning of the blastopore. The groove is deepest at the center and.
