THE EVOLUTION OF MAN. 



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

 ments (very much enlarged). All primitive eggs are naked cells, capable 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 nucleolns a germ-point (nucleolinus) is often 

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

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

 primitive egg of a Hermit-crab (Chondracanthus cornutus), in eight conse- 

 cutive 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).
