The majority of the investigators of the subjects consider that the cells of the germinal epithelium arise by differentiation of the peritoneum, and become embedded in the subjacent mesoblast, there being probably, a dual process, namely, the downgrowth of the cells themselves and a simultaneous upgrowth of the subjacent mesoblast. The fate of the cells thus embedded has given rise to much discussion. All observers agree in stating that they give rise to the ova, and most observers consider that they give rise also to the follicle cells; but de Foulis (8), Schrön (16), and Wendeler (20), believe these cells to be derived from the connective tissue.
