When the fungus has made about the number of cells repre-sented on the bottom of Fig. 6, the growth cannot be carried any. AO. NAT. SC.

Fig. 7 represents on one sidethe elevation, and on the other the section of the very smallestinfant plant it is possible to see with a lens on the dung. The Reproduction in the Mushroom Tribe. By W. G. Smith. 21 fungus represented is magnified 200 diameters, and the original wasabout half the size of a pins head (see AAA sketch in margin).The nature of the hairy coating, which forms the veil and the cellswhich are to form the future gills, are here clearly seen. Thisfigure shows the fungus in its Puff-ball condition at the time whenthe cells are being actively produced. It contains only a small pro-portion of the actual cells which go to make up a perfect fungus,and represents probably a full weeks growth from the spores. Howit is that the cells have an inherent property of building themselvesup into a particular design, no one knows any more than it i
