THE EVOLUTION OF MAX 



Fig. 10. — Primitive eggs of various animals, performing amoeboid move- 

 ments (very much enlarged). All primitive eggs are naked cells, callable of 

 change of form. Within the dark, finely granulated protoplasm (egg-yelk) 

 lies a large vesicular kernel (the germ.vesicle), and in the latter is a 

 nucleolus (germ-spot) ; in the nucleolus a germ.point (nncleolinus) is often 

 visible. Fig. A 1 — A 4. The primitive egg of a Chalk Sponge (Leucuhnis 

 echinus), in four consecutive conditions of motion. Fig. B 1 — B 8. The 

 primitive egg of a Hermit-crab (Chondracanthus corixiitns), in eight con-e- 

 cntive conditions of motion (after E. van Beneden). Fig. C 1 — C 5. 

 Primitive egg of a Cat, in four different conditions of motion (after Pfluger).
