At this period the animal has acquired a considerable size, 

 while the albumen has diminished in a corresponding degree. 

 The albumen has acquired a very firm consistence when coagu- 

 lated by heat. The liquor amnii is more fluid, and the modified 

 albumen has disappeared. The yolk has resumed its original 

 size and consistence.
