There is no joining of these cells except in the verylimited point where they meet, and there may be seen acircular perforation at the end, defined by a round they may be very near together, but they arealways free from any adherence whatever.

After De Bary. affirmed—that the conjugated cells, especially the larger,wither and empty themselves, while the upright tubes, whichultimately constitute the asci, increase and multiply. As to the scolecite, so called, there can be no doubtthat some such bodies have been seen, but their significancehas been misinterpreted. It is probably the first distinctionof the fertile from the sterile liyphae, and in no senserepresents the female organ. The above will suffice for the Ascomycdcs; and we haveleft to us the Phycomycctes, as containing the most decided anddefinite examples of sexuality amongst the Fungi. The IMucors,in species already investigated, develop zygospores from thehyphae of the mycelium (Fig. 36). A short clavate branchis produced from each of two neighbouring liyphae. Thesebranches approach each other by their apices until they touch,and are called the suspenders. Tliey contain an abuiulance of 6o INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
