However he indicates an increase in the weight of dry substance, Table III. This may be explained by the fact that. Water taken up in the metabolism of development is probably chemically combined with the proteins, forming new chemical compounds of greater weight. However, the discrepancy between Pott's re sults and those here recorded certainly needs further experimental examination.
In conclusion, it is suggested that similar weighings of'large holoblastic eggs, as for example those of amphibians, where the work done in cleavage must be considerable, might be especially interesting could these be quantitatively compared with similar weighings of eggs of rather closely related species but having meroblastic cleavage.
