This, however, is no directproof of the first i)art (jf Flcnunings statements here cited. My study on the relation of nuclear divisions and metabolicactivity in the adipose cells of various insects furnishes good evi-dence to show that amitosis docs not mean the approach of de-generation, or aixrration at all. but this kind of nuclear divisionmay be chiefly, if not entirely, to .secure the increase of thenuclear surface to meet the ji
