how the triangular portion ought to divide; but it is obvious that the least possible partition-wall which shall bisect the other must run across the long axis of the oblong, that is to say periclinally. This, also, is precisely what tends actually to take place. In the following diagrams (Fig. 148) of a frogãs egg dividing under pressure, that is to say when reduced to the form of a flattened plate, we see, firstly, the division into four quadrants (by the partitions 1, 2); secondly, the division of each quadrant by means of an anticlinal circular arc (3, 3), cutting the peripheral
