Fig. 63. - Drawing (x 80 of an entire blastocyst ('6 mm. diameter) made from a photogi'aph taken directly after transference of the specimen to the fixing fluid. Cells of lower hemisphere with imich more marked perinuclear areas of dense cytoplasm than those of the upper. D. viv., 2, 11 . vii . '01.)
Fig. 64. - Section of the wall of a blastocyst, 2'4 mm. diameter (x 630). (D. viv., 7 . vi . '01.)
Figs. 65, 66, 67. - Drawings (x 630) of small portions of in toto preparations of the formative region of 6 . 7 . '04 blastocysts to demonstrate the mode of origin of the primitive entodermal cells {ent., fig. 67). Fig. 65 shows a dividing entodermal mother-cell in position in the unilaminar wall, siuTounded by larger lighter staining cells (prospective embryonal ectodermal cells). In fig. 66 is seen a corresponding cell, a poi-tion of whose cell-body has extended inwards so as to underlie (overlie in figure) one of the ectodermal cells of the wall. . In fig. 67 are seen two entodermal cells, evidently sister-cells, the products of the division of such a cell as is seen in figs. 65 or 66. One of them (the upper) is still a constituent of the unilaminar wall, the other {ent.) is a primitive entodermal cell, definitely internal. (D . viv ., 6 . 7 . '04. Picronitro-osmic, Ehrlich's haematoxylin.)
PLATE 7
Figs. 68, 69, 70. - Drawings (x 630) of portions of preparations similar to the above. For description see text. (D. viv., 6, 7, '04.)
Fig; 71. - Drawing (x about 630) of a portion of an in toto preparation of the formative region of an '01 blastocyst showing two primitive entodermal cells, one of them in division. (D. viv., (3, 25 . vii . '01. Picro-nitro-osmic and Ehrlich.)
Fig. 72. - D rawing (x 630) corresponding to the above, from the formative region of a 6 . 7 . '04 blastocyst, also showing two primitive entodermal cells, evidently sister-cells.
PLATE 8
Figs. 73, 74, 76. - Sections of the formative region of 6.7. '04 blastocysts, showing the attenuated shell-membrane, the unilaminar waU, and in close contact with the inner surface of the latter, the primitive entodermal cells {ent.) ( X 630).
Fig. 75. - Section corresponding to the above, showing an entodermal mother-cell {ent.), part of whose cell-body nndei'lies the adjacent ectodermal cell of the wall. The spheroidal inwardly projecting cell on the left is probably also an entodermal mother-cell (x 630).
Fig. 77. - Section ( x 630) of the non-formative I'egion of a 6 . 7 . '04 blastocyst.
Fig. 78. - Section ( X 630) of the embryonal ai'ea, and the adjoining portion of the still imilaminar extra-embryonal region of a blastocyst of the 5 . '01 stage, emb. ect. Embryonal ectoderm, ent. Entoderm, tr. ect. Extra-embryonal ectoderm (tropho-ectoderm). The position of the junctional line is readily recognisable. (D . vi v. , 5, 18 . vii . '01. Picronitro-osmic and Delafield's hsematoxylin.)
Fig. 79. - Section (x 630) through the corresponding regions in an 8 . vi . '01 blastocyst. Note the thickening of the embryonal ectoderm {emb. ect.), and the peripheral extension of the entoderm {ent.) below the tropho-ectoderm. (D. viv., 8 . vi . '01. Picro-nitro-osmic and Lelafield.)
Fig. 80. - Section (x 600) through the formative (embryonal) region of a blastocyst of P. nasuta, 1‘3 mm. in diameter. It is thicker than that of the Dasyure blastocyst at the corresponding stage of development ; the primitive entodermal cells are well mai-ked.
Fig. 81. - Section ( x 600) corresponding to the above from another 1-3 mm. blastocyst of P. nasuta, of the same batch as the preceding, but apparently very slightly earlier, the entodermal cells being stiU in process of separating from the unilaminar wall. ent. Entoderm, tr. ect. Tropho-ectoderm.
PLATE 9
Fig. 82. Section (x about 430) of a section of a blastocyst of M. ruficollis -35 mm. in diameter, showing the major portion of the formative region (/. a.) and a small portion of the non-formative {tr. ect.). The shell-membrane varies in thickness in the sections from (J05 min. over the former region to '003 mm. over the latter.
Figs. 83, 84, 85. - Drawings ( X 630) of small portions of the formative (and in fig. 83 of the adjoining portion of the non-formative) region of the above blastocyst of M. ruficollis more highly magnified, ent. Primitive entodermal cells. Note in fig. 83 a cell of the wall in division, the axis of the spindle being oblique to the surface.
