Each animal now contains a cleavage- nucleus equally derived from both the conjugating animals, and the latter soon separate. The cleavage-nucleus in each divides three times successively, and of the eight resulting bodies four become macronuclei and four micronuclei (Fig. 82, H-K). By two suc- ceeding fissions the four macronuclei are then distributed, one to each of the four resulting individuals. In some other species the micro- nuclei are equally dis- tributed in like man- ner, but in /'. cauda- tuui the process

In either case at the close of the process each of the conju- gating individuals has given rise to four descendants, each containing a macro- nucleus and micro- nucleus derived from the cleavage-nucleus. From this time for- ward fission follows fission in the usual manner, both nuclei dividing at each fis- sion, until, after many generations, conjuga-.
