'As is usual in such experiments, 0.95 molal suerose solution, mixed with the sea water of the egg suspension, was used t o provide ail approximately isopychnotic centrifuge medium. In this case, however, 2 parts of the sucrose solution to 1 part of sea water were used, providing a medium slightly hypopycnotic. Thus, although all the eggs were thrown to the Centrifugal end of the chamber, undue crowding and centrifugal compression was avoided.
This force was obtained from an electrically driven centrifuge rotating 15,000 r.p.m. The radius of the centrifuge-pressure bomb, which served as the head, was 6.55 em.
