Figure 8. Myosyncytium from a 19th day frog-embryo. Note the scantiness of the 

 cytoplasm, which forms a very faintly staining zone round each nucleus in the 

 early stages. At this stage the myosyncytium is loaded with oval yolk 

 granules, some of which (at points a. and b.) have become achromatic in their 

 reaction to staining agents. Compare with Figure 9. X 1000.
