The function of the smaller ones is un- known ; the larger ones (macrozoogonidia) escape by a slit in the wall of the mother-cell, surrounded by a thin membrane, in which they swim freely for a time (Fig. 151 B). After a while they lose their pow- er of motion and arrange themselves symmetrically, as in C, Fig. 151. They soon grow together, and thus form a colony like the parent one. 297. — In Cladopliora (one of the common Confervaceae) the cells of the branching filaments break up into ciliated zoospores which directly.
