Summary
The author studied the precipitation reaction between solutions of fertilizin of the ova and antifertilizin of the spermin Nereis virens andArenicola marina.
The reaction between fertilizin and antifertilizin solutions is characterized by a type-, tissue-, as well as a relative species-specificity. The reactions between these substances are more specific when they are connected with the gamete surface than when in solution.
