Salabelieved this to be an effect of lowered temperature, but Fiirsts observations are unfavour-able to this conclusion. 2/8 REDUCTION OF THE CHROMOSOMES earlier divisions the number is approximately double this (8-9). Thisobservation makes it nearly certain that a numerical reduction ofchromosomes occurs in the Protozoa in a manner similar to that ofthe higher forms ; but the reduction here appears to be deferred until. \ ,^~^f
