Br., Chytridium Olla. The Rsting-spores remain dormant for some time before germinating. If we next endeavour to form an idea of the course of development in the Chytridieae, we shall find that our present knowledge permits of our distinguishing four types, which might perhaps be combined by pairs into two main types. Each of these has one or more chief representatives, and each of these again has a crowd of imperfectly known forms doubtfully associated with it. There are no distinctly intermediate forms between the two FIG. 75. Polyphagits Euglenae. A swarm-spore with sphere of fatty matter ami nucleus.
