From Wakd ('95, p. 300). by the nuclear divisions and the accompanying formation of transverse septa.* The course of, normal growth may now be studied in * Attention may here be called to aphenomenon which has repeatedly been observed when a. single growing mammal has been weighed at regular intervals. This is a sort of alternation of periods of unusually rapid growth with periods of diminished growth, the Interval being a day or two. There is an irregu- larity in the length of these periods.
