Thus the phase of contraction would be mechanically explained. After their return to the central cell-body the biogen-molecules would have an opportunity to regenerate themselves with the aid of substances produced by the protoplasm and the nucleus, which are absolutely necessary to the intact life of the cell; then after the introduction of oxygen they would begin their course anew. In accordance with this idea, all the special phenomena exhibited by amoeboid protoplasmic masses in their movement may be understood. The necrobiotic phenomena of naked protoplasmic masses especially, which can be followed very beautifully in amputated, non-nucleated, hyaline pseudopodia of Dijlugia. 0.
