Driesch finally demonstrated that the direc- tion of the early cleavage-planes might be artificially modified by pressure without perceptibly affecting the end-result (cf. p. 309). These facts prove that the promorphology of the early cleavage- forms can have no fundamental significance. Nevertheless, they are of the highest interest and importance ; for the fact that the forma-. A P.
