Then comes an abstriction of each of the original protoplasts into halves, and each half contains two nuclei, one large and one small (Fig. 41. 5): these halves coalesce in pairs, and each fusion-pair finally develops into an auxospore (Fig. 41. 6, 7): the two larger nuclei of each pair meanwhile fuse, while the smaller nuclei become disorganised (Fig. 41. 8). In these cases there is conjugation, and a tetrad-division of nuclei accompanies it. There is no evidence as yet of chromosome-number, 1 Pringsh. Jahrb., vol.
