Paris: Academie des Sciences, 1910. Paperback Near Fine
Offered are two Near Fine entire issues of Comptes Rendus dated 1910-1911, in modern red wrappers with white title label front covers. Mild vertical crease down middle of issues. Sm. 4to.
The experimental attempts to produce parthenogenesis with sodium chloride and sugar hypertonic solutions or butyric acid had failed, resulting only in an abortive segmentation of the egg (simple activation). During an experimental attempt to fertilize Bufo calamita with sperm of Triturus alpestris, Baraillon, struck by the resemblance of the spermatozoa to fine needles, thought of substituting glass of platinum stylets for them. On a Sunday in March 1910 the experiment performed on Rana temporaria was successful and resulted in 90 percent of the eggs being segmented, of which about 10 percent evolved into normal larvae able to survive. The analysis of these results demonstrated that beside the simple pricking (first activating factor) there is a cell or an inoculated cellular fragment. Operating upon eggs freed of their gelatin coating by potassium cyanide. Bataillon demonstrated, in an elegant experiment, using horse blood that had been defibrinated and sedimented, that the element inoculated was a leukocyte. His unchallenged discovery of traumatic parthenogenesis is important, but even more important is his remarkable analysis of the process, which clarified the complex phenomena of fertilization.
