Horizontal line means degenera- tion ; parallel vertical lines, separation of gametes ; broken lines (above), boundary between pairing animals ; (below), first fission ; single vertical line, continuity or enlargement.

The micronucleus enlarges (Fig. 5 2, A) and conditions ; and that minute doses of beef-tea or various mineral salts will not only keep up the higher rate, but even stave off senescence. Minute doses of alcohol will keep up the higher rate, but not avert senescence. He considers that Maupas' generalisations are in most respects too sweeping (Arch. Entw. xv. 1902, p. 139). But Dr. James Y. Simpson informs me that the possibility of stimulative regeneration has been found to be limited. See also Calkins and Lieb, Arch.
