PLATE XXIX. 



FIG. 31. Part of section of egg of Bahaman variety of Alphem heterochelis, showing two yolk 

 pyramids. Same stage as Fig. 15. Sixty-four cells present. x!477. 



FIG. 32. Part of transverse section of egg-nauplius of A. saulcyi, showing the fold of one of the 

 antenna3 and the niesoblastic cells and degenerative products contained within it. 

 x610. 



FIG. 33. Wandering cells in yolk above the same embryo, showing protoplasmic union. xGlO. 



FIG. 34. Part of section of egg of the BahamaH heterochelis in egg-nauplius stage, showing wander- 

 ing cells, which have left the yolk and have attached themselves to the superficial 

 ectoblast. The nuclei are flattened against the surface, but are clearly distinguished 

 from the epiblast. x610. 



FIG. 35. Part of transverse section of older embryo, showing blood cells and wandering mesoblast 

 cell (Me*.). Eye-pigment beginning to form. x610. 



FIG. 36. Part of longitudinal section of embryo shown in Fig. 153, to show the degenerative prod- 

 ucts of the dorsal plate, x 610.
