This shifting of the anterior dorsal cells toward themedian plane is shown again at the next cleavage (the sixth), ofthis egg. (Fig. 20.) The seventh cleavage, which is shown in Figs. 25 and 26, is alsonormal except for the direction of a few of the divisions. Thecells which constitute the yellow and gray crescents are in allrespects like the right half of a normal egg. However the
