The writer discusses the observations of Bobretzky on the eggs of 
Pieris cratcegi^ and comes to the conclusion that the yelk-balls are not 
merely germ-cells (Keimzellen), but bodies of a higher order, which 
arise from the investment of the intravitelline cells by a yelk-sphere. 
Thus the yelk-balls are not primary but secondary cells (Metacyta).
