Kie&er (^^Grundz, cler AQiatorroic der Pjimi- zen/' § 127) sought to demonstrate, that the form of the cell must necessarily be that of a rhombic dodccaheclrou under such circum- stances, since this form encloses the greatest space within the smallest amount of limits, and that their form is usually that of a ihombric dodecahedron elongated in a perpendicular direction, be- cause the primary form of the vegetable cell is not the sphere but the ellipsoid. This proposition may be admitted theoretically, but it would be a vain labour to seek actually to observe the form of the rhombic dodecahedron in a cell in nature, since the contigu- ous cells are ahvays far too unequal in size for them to become Fifj, 5 Fig 6 // 5 J A J.
