In all these operations the behaviour of the rays is precisely like that of muscle-fibres ; and it is difficult to study Boveri's beautiful figures and clear descriptions without sharing his conviction that "of the contractility of the fibrillae there can be no ; ^ Very convincing evidence in the same direction is afforded by pigment-cells and leucocytes or wandering-cells, in both of which there is a very large permanent aster (attraction-sphere) even in the resting-cell. The structure of the aster in the leucocyte, where it was first discovered by Flemming in 1891, has been studied very 1 '88, 2, p.
