The iodine does not give it a blue color, so there cannot be any starch in the amoeba. The new amceb^e, or blood- cells, are made like the new protococci, or mould-cells, by fission. You will first see two nuclei, or kernels, in one of the old cells. If you watch closely, you will see a partition (Fig. 76) going straight through the Fig. Partition between the Two Kernels.
