TitleUnpublished paper, 'On the penetration of spermatozoa into the interior of the ovum; a note, showing this to have been recorded as an established fact in the Philosophical Transactions for 1843' by Martin Barry

DescriptionBarry refers to Henry Nelson's paper 'The reproduction of the ascaris mystax' (see PT/45/3), in which Nelson claims that his observations of the penetration of spermatozoa into the interior of the ovum are novel. Barry further refers to his own paper 'Spermatozoa observed within the mammiferous ovum' (see PT/27/4) as evidence of his earlier observations of this phenomenon.
