Magn. 390 times. and presently assume the form of small cylindrical rods about 2. 2 /* in length. The differentiation in the protoplasm described in my work quoted in section LIII as preceding the partition requires fresh examination. A granular parietal layer of protoplasm which permanently clothes the membrane and a small portion of hyaline substance between the spores, possibly of the nature of protoplasm, is not employed in the formation of the spores. The latter substance becomes visible, when the spores have taken the form of rods and have collected into a ball (e) on one side of the wall of the sporangium, as a series of radiating threads running from the ball of spores to the wall-utricle; but by degrees it disappears entirely and a watery fluid takes its place. Section XX. The spores which are produced endogenously are usually set free from their mother-cells in some determinate manner as soon as they are ripe and fully grown. In a few cases, as in Elaphomyces, Eurotium and perhaps in Penicillium, they escape from the mother-cell before they have acquired the size and structure which usually precede germination, and they subsequently attain to these at the expense of dissimilar cells which had surrounded the sporangium.
