It is interesting to note that only the Anthoccrotales amon^ brvophvtes approach this method of antheridium formation in the fact that the inner cell following the periclinal division p|ives rise to the sper- matogenous tissue.

Archegonium.— The archegonium also resembles that of the Anthocerotales in being an embedded structure. The out- line of its develop- ment is as follows: It begins as a super- ficial cell, which divides by a trans- verse wall (fig. 283), the outer cell being the primary neck cell, the inner one the inner cell. The inner cell divides by a transverse wall, re- sulting in a row of three cells (fig. 284), a condition of the archegonium very commonly seen. Be- ginning with the.
