(it) Another interesting study of a special kind of fission may be taken up in an examination of the development of stomata. (See p. 99.) (e) That slight variation of fission, which has sometimes been called budding, may be very easily studied in the Yeast Plant {Saecharomyces eerevisioB).* The conidia, stylospores, and basidiospores of many fungi, which are more diflScult to study, are very instructive examples of this va- riety of fission. Conidia may be studied in Cystopus; stylospores in the Red Rust of the grasses (ihe so- called uredo-stage of Puccinia gram- inis) ; and basidiospores in young toadstools {Agaricus).

Cells which divide in this way are called mother-cells, and
