THA LL OPHYTES. the rupture of its apex. This expulsion is probably caused by the lateral pressure ofthe swollen paraphyses and the property of swelling possessed by the membrane of theascus itself. The germination of the spores of Lichens takes place by the endospore of eachspore-cell putting out a filament which ramifies and creeps upon the damp substratumon which the spore is placed. The origin of the first gonidia has never been observedafter the dissemination of the spores; but Tulasne sometimes found groups of gonidia at.

They are simple, not septate, and densely filled with drops of
