A recent study of modified cleavage made by Boveri ('10) on polyspermic and centrifuged eggs of Ascaris has proved beyond a doubt that the occurrence or non-occurrence of chromatin diminu- tion in a nucleus depends, not upon its quahtative constitution, but upon its cytoplasmic environment.

If this is true, persistence of the undiminished condition is not a segregation of preformed germ plasm, but a nuclear reaction to cytoplasmic conditions. The "germ path" is a feature of the cytoplasm, not of the nucleus, and the cytoplasm is not, properly speaking, a part of the germ plasm at all, but represents the soma of the cell. Which nuclei shall.
