Silvestri. Silvestri claims that this “ nucleolo” is a 
plasmosome which was cast out of the odcyte nucleus 
at an early stage in the growth period, but an exami- 
nation of my material proves that it really contains 
all of the chromatin of the odcyte nucleus. Since it is

odcytes. 
not a nucleolus, at least in the species I have studied, 
it can no longer be called a ‘“‘ nucleolo”’ and therefore 
the term ‘keimbahn-chromatin’ will be applied to 
it.

through an odcyte (0) in an early stage of growth. It 
is surrounded by follicle cells (fe) and accompanied by
