Fig 2. Another view of the ovulum with its funiculus (o) and suspensor, previous to fecundation, less 

 magnified. 



Fig, 3. Section of germen soon after fecundation, showing the rudimentary embryo. 



Fig. 4. Apex of the cellular body, or suspensor, showing the vesicular portion (rf) and tubular extremity

Fig. 5. Cellular body as seen after the time of fecundation, with the hair-like projection (e), magnified
