For the disputed stages—zygotene and diplotene—are too similar in many of the species which have been inter- preted in opposite senses to have been brought about by such different processes, and, moreover, in many instances opposite accounts have been given of the same species.

The overwhelming balance of evidence of actual observation appears to the author and many others (including the older cytologists who were not interested in either theory) to favour the view that the diplotene and diakinetic figures are produced by the reopening of the.
