Extract

In previous contributions the writer has described the structure and behaviour of the mitochondria and Golgi material of the egg of the mouse (Gresson, 1933, 1938 and 1940 b), and more recently has traced the cytoplasmic inclusions through the stages of maturation, fertilisation and the first cleavage division (Gresson, 1941). As the result of observations on the sperm middle-piece it is claimed that the mitochondria of the sheath are liberated into the ooplasm of the fertilised egg, and are shared out between the first two blastomeres; and further, that a Golgi element is present in the middle-piece, and that this breaks up and its products are distributed through the cytoplasm of the fertilised ovum (Gresson, 1940a, and 1941).
