And this is just whatwe do find. This is admirably and concisely expressed. In the interior of the germ-cell is a nucleus, andaround the cell a rind with minute openings orgateways. We shall the better realise and appre-ciate the marvellous mechanism and operations ofNature, if we consider that the whole of the cellcontaining this complex structure is almost too smallto be seen with the naked eye. When fertilizationtakes place, the male element, in the shape of micro-scopic tadpoles, finds its way through the openingor gateway of the cell-rind, and fusing with thenucleus inside, the two form the foundation, as itwere, of the future being. It is a most remarkablefact that the male pronucleus (too small to be seenwithout
