The outer plasma membrane (Hautschicht) is undivided, and the membrane surrounding the vacuole remains unchanged. By further successive divisions these two protoplasts give rise ultimately to the gametes. The process of division is the same whether gametes or asexual swarm-spores result (Fig. 17, D). Strasburger has expressed the opinion that, in the development of the gametes, only one more cell-division is necessary above those required for the zoospores, and this division renders the resulting cells or gametes incapable of further independent development. In what way this last division incapaci- tates the gametes for further independent development was not dis- cussed at the time. That view was probably prompted by Weismann's.
