These are sometimes congregated to- gether in receptacles of different sorts (figs. 899 c c, 900). The spores occasionally divide into 3 or 4 cells, constituting tetraspores {riTgag, four), (fig. 482, p. 273). In addition to spores or sporocarps (fig. 902 sp), there are antheridia, consisting of minute cells, with spermatozoids in their interior. In some of the simplest Algae, the whole plant is concerned
