He seems to be con-nected with everything in every direction as you willsee from the illustration. In reference to the work of the centrosome Mr. Wil- THE CELL 81 soil makes the following remark: The division of thecytoplastic granules must remain a quite open question,yet we should remember that in dividing plastids ofplants cells are often very minute, and that in the centro-some we have a body no larger in many cases than amicrosome, which is positively known to be in some casesa persistent morphological element, having the power ofgrowth, division and persistence in the daughter we consider the analogy between the centrosomeand the chromatin grains, when we recall the evidencethat the latter graduate into the oxychromatin granules,and these in turn into cytomicrosomes, we must admi
