Fission has been well studied in Aulcwantha (a Phaeodarian) by Borgert.^ He finds that in this case the skeleton is divided between the daughter-cells, and the missing part is regenerated. In eases where this is impossible one of the daughter-cells retains the old skeleton, and the other escapes as a bud to form a new A B C Fig. 28.—Shells of Challengeridae : A, Tuscarora ; B, Plmryngella ; C, Haeclieliana. (From Wyville Thomson.) Two modes of reproduction by flagellate zoospores have been described (Fig. 22). In the one mode all the zoospores are alike— isospores—and frequently contain a crystal of proteid nature as well as oil-globules. In the Polycyttaria alone has the second mode of spore-formation been seen, and that in the same species in which the formation of isospores occurs. Here " anisospores" are formed, namely, large "mega-," and small " micro - ; They probably conjugate as male and female respectively; but neither has the process been observed, nor has any product of such conjugation (zygote) been recognised. In every case the formation of the zoospores only involves the 1 Zool. Jahrh. Anat. xiv. 1900, p.
