 the yolk. In such cases the important question remains whether the nuclei 

 which pass into the blastomeres are derived from segmentation nuclei or from

 only; in the former they should multiply by mitosis. Examined in this light it 

 is found that the nuclei which here pass into the blastomeres show amitoses, and
