Abstract
A review is presented of published reports on polyspermy in mammals. The cytology of living polyspermic rat and rabbit eggs, as seen with the phase"contrast microscope, is described. Polyspermic rat eggs have been seen in various stages of fertilization and early cleavage; observations on rabbit eggs are restricted to the later phases of pronuclear growth.Keywords
