The cell in development and inheritance . rms through the independentand nearly simultaneous researches of myself on the ^^g of Toxo-pneustes, of Mathews on Ajbacia, and of Boveri on Echinus. Nearlyat the same time a careful study was made by Mead (95, 98, i) ofthe annelid ChcBtopterics^ and of the starfish Asterias by Mathews, 1 87, 2, p. 155. PRELIMINARY GENERAL SKETCH 193 both observers independently showing that the polar spindle containsdistinct centrosomes, which, however, degenerate after the formationof the polar bodies, their place being taken by the sperm-centrosome,which divides to form an amphiaster before union of the nuclei, asin Rhynchelmis. Exactly the same result has since been reached byHill (95) and Reinke (95) in SpJiczrecJiinus, by Hill in the tunicatePhalliisia, by Kostanecki and Wierzejski (96) in Physa (Fig. 89),and by Van der Stricht (98) in TJiysaiiozodn; and in all of these thecentrosome is likewise shown to arise from the middle-piece or inits immediate neighbourhood.
