In the earlier divisions of the sperm-cells, each cell shows two centrosomes (Fig. 17, i), and Ikeno does not recognise any difference between these and the so-called "blepharoplast" of Webber and other recent students of sperma- togenesis, who look upon the blepharoplast as a different organ from the centrosome. After the final division, each spermatid is provided with a single centrosome (blepharoplast), from which, later, the cilia Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Campbell, Douglas Houghton, 1859-1953.
