Cell with a single nucleus containing a very coarse network of chromatin and two nucleoli(plasmosomes) ; J. permanent aster, its centre occupied by a double centrosome surrounded byan attraction-sphere. B. Similar cell, with double nucleus ; the smaller dark masses in the latterare oxychromatin-granules (linin), the larger masses are basichromatin (chromatin proper). by Heidenhain to represent the contractile elements by means ofwhich the cell changes its form and creeps about.

A similar con-clusion was reached by Solger (91) and Zimmermann (93, 2) in thecase of pigment-cells (chromatophores) in fishes. These cells have,in an extraordinary degree, the power of changing their form and ofactively creeping about. Solger and Zimmermann have shown thatthe pigment-cell contains an enormous aster, whose rays extend inevery direction through the pigment-mass, and it is almost impos-sible to doubt that the aster is a
