By means of staining in Mayer's hæmalum I have been able to see the nucleus clearly as well in the auxiliary cell as in the other ones of the procarp except in the carpogonium, this most probably being due to the bad preservation of the material, this having been kept in rather weak spirit. After the fertilization the auxili- ary cell increases in size, and soon two cells are cut off, one at both ends of it (Fig. 198 a). These cells again are divided into smaller ones (Fig, 198 b). Not having had sufficient mate- rial I have not been able to follow the development in detail, but the Fig. 199. Mesothamnion cari- result of the further growth is that sent.

Of these bodies the two on each side are the largest; so far I have been able to follow.
