The presence of the contact disc is uniformlyaccompanied by a deficiency of the spindle, which lacks an asterat the end nearest the disc. In a few cases there seems to be asmall amount of sphere substance underlying the contact inference seems to be that the contact disc is the product ofthe aster of the first polar spindle modified by contact with the
