1. The site of gaseous exchange in the eggs of Rhodnius prolixus (Stahl) is shown to be the rim of the cap which covers the anterior end of the egg. Most of the oxygen consumed by the embryo enters the egg through the micropyles and pseudomicropyles which penetrate the shell in this region. 2. The physical conditions necessary for the passage of sufficient oxygen through these pores is discussed. A continuous gas space under the shell--the presence of which can be deduced on theoretical grounds--is shown to exist in the Rhodnius egg. 3. The relationship between waterproofing and the permeability of the shell to oxygen is discussed.

In this study the ultrastructure of the uterus of Brugia malayi and its contents were studied especially to reveal the relationship between the sheath of the microfilaria and the egg shell, as it is claimed that the egg shell ultimately forms the microfilairal sheath (Rogers et al, 1976).The cross section of the worm revealed a distinct cuticle, musculature, a single patent fut and paired uteri. The uterine contents were filled with eggs at various stages of development. Inside each egg were embryonic cells which corresponded to the so-called “nuclei” of microfilaria which are seen in the light microscope. The egg shell was discernable as a membrane with minute electron-dense projections on its surface. At higher magnification the egg shell was seen to consist of two structures - a homogenous basement membrane and electron dense projections which rested on it. These projections were found all around the egg shell and consisted of a broad base and a pointed anterior end.
