The spermatozoa common to each cyst, however, remain together for a time, being connected by means of the tough albuminous contents of the mother cell. Thus, at least, we feel inclined to explain the occurrence of irregular groups of sperma- tozoa, which, kept together by one common cement, not unfrequently occur in the semen of the cock. According to our observation, the develope- nient of the spermatozoa of the woodpecker and of the pigeon takes place in precisely the same manner; and this may be said likewise of singing birds.* The cells of developement of the latter are however still more rarely to be met with free, and are perhaps always en- closed by mother cells. The number of the enclosed cells is generally very considerable (fig. 333.).
