Stages in the chromatin-diminution process. (From Kahle, 1908.) germ cell is established. Each of the four nuclei divides by mitosis, but nuclei I, II, and III undergo a chromatin-diminution process during which a large part of their chromatin remains in the cyto- plasm when the daughter nuclei reform. The details of such a process are indicated in Fig. 16. Nucleus IV, on the other hand, divides as usual (Fig. 15) and each daughter nucleus receives one-half of its chroma- tin. One of these daughter nuclei becomes embedded in that peculiar mass of cytoplasm at the posterior.
