Abstract
THE mechanism of formation of the fertilization membrane in the sea urchin egg has long been a matter of discussion. Runnström, Monné and Broman1 recently reviewed the essential points in this discussion. They also resumed, on the eggs of Psammechinus miliaris and Echinocardium cordatum, the study of the birefringence of the membrane first described by Runnström2.
