Developing pollen-tube, showing stalk-cell {s), vegetative cell {v) and generative cell {g). the latter with two blepharoplasts. B. Generative cell, somewhat later, with blepharoplasts and asters. C. The same in the prophases of division, showing breaking up of blepharoplasts. D. The two spermatids formed by division of the generative cell; blepharoplasts fragmented; from these fragments arises the cilia-bearing band. E. Blepharoplast of Cycas, at a stage some- what later than Fig. C\ cilia developing. F. Later stage; ciliated band (derived from the last stage) attached tea prolongation from the nucleus. G. Cilia-bearing band continuous. //. Nearly ripe spermatozoid with nucleus in the centre; ciliated band, shown in section, forming a spiral. /. Slightly later stage, viewed from above, showing the spiral course of the band (cilia omitted). penultimate cell-generation lying one on either side the nucleus, and in earlier stages surrounded by astral radiations very closely resem- bling those of a typical mitotic aster, and they lie opposite the poles 1 The "anterior" region of the spermatozoid thus corresponds to the "posterior" region of the spermatozoon, the confusion of terms having arisen from the fact that the former swims with the cilia-bear
