As we have seen, the nuclei of the microsphere are ultimately replaced by chromidia, and the whole plasmic body divides into pseudopodiospores, which grow into the megalospheric form. In the Perforate genera, Patellina and Discorbina, plastogamy precedes brood formation, the cytoplasms of the 2-5 pairing individuals contracting a close union ; and then the nuclei proceed to break up without fusion, while the cytoplasm. FIG. 17. — Shell of Ulvbigerina bultoiites, from tow-net, showing investment of spine-. (From Wyville Thomson.) aggregates around the young nuclei to form amoebulae, which acquire a shell and separate. In both cases it is the forms with a single nucleus, corresponding to megalospheric forms that so pair, and the brood-formation is, mutatis mutandis, the same as in these forms. Similar individuals may reproduce in the same way, in both genera, without this plastogamic pairing, which is therefore, though probably advantageous, not essential. If pseudopodiospores form their shells while near one another, they may coalesce to form monsters, as often happens in The direct economic uses of the Foraminifera are perhaps greater than those of any other group of Protozoa, The Chalk is 1 Which probably accounts for the earlier failure of Lister and of Schaudinn himself to note their conjugation. - Rlunnbler, " Die Doppelschalen v.
