The regular formation ofoctants was observed by me in Fiuibriaria Californica,and by Kienitz-Gerloff and others in MarcJiantia, Grinialdia,and Preissia, and probably occurs normally in all Mar-chantiaceae. After the first anticlinal walls are formed in the octants, nodefinite order could be observed in the succeeding cell divisions, 1 Hofmeister (i), PL XV.
