FIG. 5. First polar spindle alone, showing achromatic fibers splitting off, 

 forming "asters." X 916. 



FIG. 6. Second polar spindle alone, showing well-defined "asters," formed by 

 fibers which have split off from the spindle. X 916. 



FIG. 7. Primary oocyte showing spindle seen obliquely from one end, which has 

 broken down. The scattering of the chromosomes is partially accomplished. X67O. 



FIG. 8. Egg-cell with nuclei formed from scattered chromosomes. The bodies 

 at the end of the oocyte (x) are probably cells formed by the division of the polar 

 body. A crystalloid body (c) and an extra-ovular cell (p) are also shown. X67O.
