The egg, after fertilization, begins to grow, and divides into two, four, eight, sixteen, and more spheres, until it looks like a mulberry, which seen in section is as in Pig. 15, .^4, i?. This is the segmentation stage or morula. The cells farther multijjly, and arrange themselves into a single fig. le.—ciliated embryo or bias- 1 1 ii 1, • 11 J tula of a sponge (&';/cant/7Tf ?'a- layer, when the embryo is called phanus).
