In his opinion, therefore, the formation of the polar bodies differs from ordinary mitosis only in the fact that the chromosomes split very early, and not once, but twice, in preparation for two rapidly succeeding divisions without an intervening resting period. He supported this view by further obser- vations in 1890 on the polar bodies of Sagitta and several gastero- pods, in which he again determined, as he believed, that the tetrads.
