We may therefore conclude that the i ssential points in the life-history of the whole group are confined to these phenomena. But in most species there is this difference, that the course of the development is extended by the intercalation of numerous propagative cells, gonidia. In some cases indeed the formation of gonidia is actually a necessary part of the entire development; the germ-tube which proceeds from the oospore developes into. FIG. G3. Cystopus Candidas.

Magn. 400 times. a small rudimentary plant, which we may call a promycelium (see on | m), and this produces a few gonidia and then dies, while the gonidia give rise to new perfect fertile plants. This is the case with I'hytophthora omnivora and Pythium proliferum which represent the intermediate mode of germination mentioned above. A very large majority of species, die two last-named among the number, form gonidia, not or not only in the way just described as terminal members of a short-lived alternate generation, but as accessory products of every normally developed thallus; die gonidia are usually produced in such large quan- tities as to further the propagation of the species to an enormous extent by their g< rminalion, and they have such characteristic forms, that the characters of species,.
