✦ Synopsis

When bi-bacia. eggs are exposed to small doses of u1tr.aviolet light, either hefore o r after fertilization, there is an increase in the time required for first cleavage (Giese, '46; Blum, '49). This so-called delay i n cleavage could conceivably be the result of any one of a number of different complex possibilities. It is not known, for example, wdiicli part
