Abstract
THE Feulgen technique has been used with success for chromosome studies in whole mounts of the eggs of marine animals such as Arbacia and Chaetopterus 1. Hundreds of specimens can be fixed, stained and mounted in an hour or two—a fraction of the time and effort involved in an embedding-sectioning procedure.
