It is doubtful, however, whether such a division is of much importance. (&) What has been called the Rejuvenescence of a cell may be mentioned here. The phenomena connected with it are as follows: The proto- plasm of a cell contracts, ex- pels a portion of the water contained in it, and escapes through a slit in its wall ; ihe naked mass becomes for a time a free-swimming zoos- pore, after which it secretes a wall of cellulose, and begins to grow and form new cl41s by fission. Cases of this kind occur in CEdogonium, Stigeo- clonium, and many other aquatic Thallophytes. An interesting fact, but proba- bly of no great significance, is that the axis of growth of the new. cell is perpendicular to that of the old one.
