Life cycle of Polystomella crispa S. (Lang and Schaudinn). A young form derived from the union of two flagellated gametes (A) de^-elops into an organism with microspheric type of shell. The nucleus increases by mitosis until many nuclei are present when they break up into granules of chromatin (B). The protoplasm fragments into reproductive bodies, equivalent to merozoltes (C), each having several granules of the distributed chromatin ("Chromidien"). Each reproductive body (D) develops into an adult with a macrospheric type of shell, and with nuclei in the form of small chromatin granules (E). When mature these forms fragment into hundreds of flagellate gametes (F) which conjugate, and so com- plete the cycle. (See, also, Fig. 41, p. 114.) plasm as contrasted with the somatic plasm. With such an assump- tion we are brought in touch with a problem of high theoretical interest in general cytology, and with the protozoa, as with the metazoa, we have this question to consider: Are there two kinds of substances in.
