Abstract
IN a previous paper (Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. Biol. Sci., October 1924) on the eggs of the centipede, Lithobius forficatus, one of us (V. N.) described two kinds of yolk, albuminous and fatty. The albuminous yolk is preceded by nucleolar extrusions of a remarkable type, and its origin seems to be associated with them, although no evidence could be adduced that they are directly transformed into the albuminous yolk. It was further shown that the juxta-nuclear Golgi apparatus fragments into small granules and small crescent-shaped Golgi elements. The former grow in size and give rise to the fatty yolk.
