Note(s): Oocyte differentiation is a highly complex process that lays the groundwork for zygote development. Polychaetous annelids show great diversity in life history patterns and vitellogenic mechanisms (ECKELBARGER 1983). Despite their importance, few comprehensive studies examine oocyte differentiation from the oogonium to the mature egg. Most of the broader investigations are relatively recent. Nevertheless, a variety of fundamental problems in developmental biology were addressed by late nineteenth century microscopists (see reviews by REVERBERI 1971; SCHROEDER & HERMANS 1975; HUEBNER & ANDERSON 1976).
