In 1900, Harper observed fertilization in the oogonium of Pyronema confluens; here, however, the gametangia are both multinucleate and fer- tilization consists of the fusion in pairs of a large number of male and female nuclei. Many asci are produced, each from a recurved filament in the pen- ultimate cell of which a second nuclear fusion occurs. Development of the Ascus. Though the young ascus, so far as obser- vation goes, is almost invariably binucleate and the seat of a nuclear fusion, the details of its formation are not always the same. In 1905 Maire showed that in Galactinia succosa and occasionally in other forms a series of three or four binucleate cells is produced at the end of each ascogenous hypha. The nuclei of the terminal cell undergo simultaneous division and two are cut off at the apex by a transverse wall. These fuse and the cell containing them becomes the ascus. Harper in Erysiphe, and other authors in various other plectomycetous fungi have found that any cell of an ascogenous hypha, if it contains two nuclei, may give rise to an ascus without preliminary nuclear division. In some of those species in which the ascus is derived from a binucleate penultimate cell the curvature of the hypha is so great that the uninucleate terminal cell lies in contact with the stalk cell of the ascus. When this happens the terminal and stalk cells sometimes fuse, a nucleus wanders from one to the other, and the cell thus provided with two nuclei grows out as a.
