Figs. 15 and IV A will show more clearly the point in question. On account of the great number of chromosomes it is very difficult to determine their number with absolute accuracy. 1 have often found rather regularly 14 or 15 bivalent and 6 or 7 univalent chromosomes, whilst in other cases about 17 entirely bivalent chromosomes could be seen. I have long doubted as to how we can correctly value these very various spindle figures. In the beginning I found reasons which caused me to suppose that a hybrid from, two pa- rents with a different number of chromosomes, had to be reckoned with, but later I observed that my attention had to be given to a sort of division which could be regarded as an intermediate stage between reduction division and vegetative division. In the aforementioned Drosera-hyhrid always 20 bivalent and 10 univalent chromosomes could be recognized, whilst in this case a very great variation in the proportion of bivalent and univalent chromosomes could be found. It therefore seems to me very probable that in H. excelleus there is an incom- plete reduction process. I should like to express it in the following manner: the great number of chromosomes in each gonomer still keeps its ^affinity" and therefore can be united with its corre- spondent in the other, whilst a part, different in different nuclei, have lost that characteristic and were therefore univalent. It seems to me that already i
