Here,after passing through the nuclearmembrane, it enters into the surround-ing protoplasm of the central capsule ;however, as yet nothing has been re-ported as to its further fate. About this time a large number ofsmall nuclei make their appearanceoutside of the internal vesicle, beingsituated in the protoplasm of the cen-tral capsule, which originally was quitefree from nuclei; these function ascentres around which nucleated zoospores develop, whose numberfinally may amount to some hundreds of thousands. Meanwhile,.

Finally it is quite dis-solved. Brandt has observed that this nuclear multiplicationvaries according to whether isospores or anisospores are formed. From the whole process R. Hertwig and Brandt draw thefollowing conclusion, which is certainly correct: that the nucleiwhich function in the formation of zoospores, and which occur inthe central capsule, at first but sparsely, but which graduallyincrease in number, are derived from the substance of the internalvesicle (nuclear corpuscles). This explanation, remarks , leads me to adopt a theory of nuclear
