Popis: 1) During the development of the eggs ofStrongylocentrotus purpuratus to blastulae, the proportion of phosphorus which is present in the form of phospholipines (Lecithin, etc.) undergoes appreciable diminution. The further development of the blastulae into plutei is accompanied by a further diminution in the proportion of phospholipines present in the larvae. 2) The development of the eggs ofStrongylocentrotus purpuratus to blastulae is accompanied by a considerable increase in the proportion of phosphorus which is soluble in boiling water and insoluble in alcohol, and by a decrease in the proportion of phosphorus which is insoluble either in alcohol or in boiling water. The further development of the larvae to plutei is accompanied, on the contrary, by a decrease in the proportion of water-soluble phosphorus and an increase in the proportion of insoluble phosphorus.
