1892 E. L. Mark tr. O. Hertwig Text-bk. Embryol. i. 28 The translator has been accustomed for several years to use the word homolecithal instead of alecithal, heterolecithal being employed as a coördinate term to embrace telolecithal and centrolecithal eggs.
1914 W. E. Kellicott Textbk. Gen. Embryol. iii. 93 It is often difficult to distinguish the telolecithal egg from the homolecithal type.
1958 B. M. Patten Found. Embryol. iv. 78 In the egg of Amphioxus the yolk is relatively meager in amount and fairly uniformly distributed throughout the cell. An ovum with such a yolk distribution is termed isolecithal (homolecithal).
