o Two dwarf eggs of prolate-spheroidal shape, one with some free yolk and one with a small yolk, were 

 laid after the frequency constants and correlation coefficients had been calculated. These eggs are included 

 in Table I, but not in Table II, III, IV, or V. 



The size and variation of the different egg parts in dwarf eggs is an 

 interesting but difficult question. It was found possible to separate 

 accurately the parts in a dwarf egg with a small yolk inclosed in yolk
