After a day or two, the swarm-spores, now destitute of cilia, begin the reverse process of coales- cing, two or more of them fusing into cH^Afdr^Z'^^c^for^l a comm6n mass; the process may If^^SyrSnae^goSrSio',;' continue until a new plasmodium is x 390.—After De Bary. formed, differing from the first one mentioned only in size (Fig. 141, a to m, and Fig. 143).
