Otherwise unmarked.A histological and genetical study by Wesley R. Coe (Yale University and Scripps Institution of Oceanography) of sex-phase alternation in the California oyster, Ostrea lurida. Coe traces the development of the primary gonad through successive male and female phases, describing the rhythmic sequence of protandry, hermaphroditism, and female maturation across multiple years of experimental observation at the Scripps pier. The paper includes a key discussion of self-fertilization, wintering condition, and the genetical basis of sexual sequence, and is illustrated with detailed line drawings and photomicrographs of gonadal tissue at each phase.Contents: Introduction; Development of primary gonads; Sequence of sexual phases; Modification of the typical sexual sequence; True hermaphroditism; Typical protandry; Spermatogenesis; Secondary gonad, development of female phase; Gonads immediately after ovulation; Second male phase; Resting period; Second female phase; Third male phase and later sexual phases; Wintering condition; Hermaphroditism in other species; Genetical explanation; Summary; Literature Cited; Explanation of Plates.…
