Having entered the oviduct the ovum is propelled with a rotary motion by the peristaltic contractions of that tube, towards the cloaca. The contact of the ovum stimulates the lin- ing membrane of the oviduct to secrete first a dense layer of albumen which is deposited upon the vitelline membrane and is continued thread-like from each pole. These threads or filaments are the chalazcz and the dense layer of albumen with which they are connected is the vicmbrana chalazifera. As the o^^^ rotates in the oviduct the chalazce become twisted in opposite directions, and the one next the small end of the egg finally adheres more or less to the membrane lining the shell at t^^at point.
