Plate VIII Surface Views of Entire Eggs of Cynthia partita; Eight to Forty-four Cells

Fig. 108. Eight-cell stage ; left side of egg ; showing spindles of third cleavage.

Fig. 109. Anterior view of 8-cell stage, showing cytoplasm most abundant in the animal pole cells, and the yolk largely collected in the anterior cell of the vegetal hemisphere.

Figs. 110, 111,112. Stages in the fourth cleavage; figs. 110 and 112 viewed from the animal pole, fig. Ill from the. vegetal pole.

Fig. 113. Telophase of fourth cleavage, vegetal poje view ; caps of deeply staining protoplasm lie at the hinder borders of the small posterior cells (B 5,2 ).

Figs. 114 and 115. Anterior and posterior views of the 16-cell -stage; fig. 115 showing caps of deeply staining protoplasm at the posterior pole, which later go into the posterior mesenchyme cells (B' 6 , figs. 130, 131).

Figs, 116 and 117. Ventral and dorsal views of a 20-cell stage, showing the cells at the vegetal pole dividing before those at the animal pole.

Fig. 118. Slightly older stage with some of the animal pole cells dividing.

Figs. 119-123. Five views of one and the same egg; fig. 119, ventral; 120, dorsal; 121, anterior; 122, posterior; 123, right side; the latter shows in dotted outlines the great elongation of the cells at the animal pole and the flattened shape of the cells at the vegetal pole ; all the designations of cells in tig. 123 should be underscored ; 44 cells, 16 ectoderm, 10 endoderm, 10 mesoderm, 4 chorda and 4 neural plate cells.

Figs. 124-129. Six different views of one and the same egg in the 44-cell stage showing the divisions of the ectodermal cells and the second cells of the crescent (B 6 ' 4 ) ; when these divisions are completed there will be 62 cells. Fig. 124, ventral; 125, dorsal; 126, anterior; 127, postero-dorsal.
