The fertilised oosphereis always first divided in the archegonium into two cells, the upper of which,facing the neck, forms the growing apical cell; but this divides in very differentways in the different groups:—in Anthoceros by oblique walls inclined in fourdirections; in the IMarchantiese and Ricciese by walls inclined alternately in twodirections; while the sporogonium of the Jungermanniese contains, even in its veryearliest stage, four apical cells lying beside one another like octants of a sphere,.
