Abstract
THE subject of this book is the behaviour of mammalian eggs from the time of their genesis in the ovary to their implantation in the uterus. It opens with a discussion of the origin of the ovum, its growth and that of the follicle, and then passes on to its main theme, the physiology of fertilization, parthenogenesis and cleavage.
