A. First appearance of the cleavage-centrosome at the poles of the fused germ-nuclei; cleavage- asters forming within the degenerating sperm-asters. B. Final anaphase of first cleavage, showing persistent centrosomes and new asters forming. C. Immediately after division. D-F. Three stages of the late anaphase in Thalassema, showing formation of new asters within the old. {Cf. Fig. 99.) The strongest evidence against fibrillar persistence is, however, given by recent studies on mitosis, showing on the one hand that the new astral centres do not coincide with the old ones, on the other that the old rays degenerate /// siiu, to be replaced by new ones. Aside from many earlier observers, who believed the entire aster to disappear at the close of mitosis, the first to assert the wholly noJv 1 Cf. Reinke ('95), Wilson ('99)..
