I87 the equal and the unequal cleavage can be found in all thegroups of the metazoa. Blastula.—Even during the first stages of segmentationthere is formed a cavity, the cleavage cavity, in the interiorof the egg between the cells; with the progress of devel-opment this cavity becomes continually larger. Around itthe cells lie in the form of a one-layered or
