Abstract
BY means of centrifugation experiments, evidence of persistence of deoxyribonucleic acid in the growing nucleus of the primary oocyte was put forward by J. Brachet1. J. Govaert2 was able to demonstrate that, in Fasciola hepatica, the acid not only persists but also remains quantitatively constant in the germinal vesicle. The same quantitative constancy was later found by J. Mulnard3 to be existing in the oocytes of Acanthoscelides obtectus.
