FIG. 03. Aclinosphcerium eichhorni: first reduction-division, with centrosomes 

 (the stages here shown follow those of the centrosome-forraation in Fig. 37). 

 A, Centrosome with radiations in a mass of archo plasm at one pole of the 

 nucleus ; B, two centrosomes and archoplasmic cones, taking up positions 

 on opposite sides of the nucleus, in which chromosomes are beginning to appear ;. 

 C, D, formation of the nuclear spindle and equatorial plate of chromosomes ; 

 E, division of the equatorial plate ; F, division of the nucleus beginning ; 

 G, H, division of the nucleus and rcconstitution of the daughter-nuclei ; one 

 daiighter-nucleus will degenerate and be rejected as a reduction-nucleus ; 

 the beginning of this is seen in U , where the upper darker daughter- nucleus 

 is the one which degenerates. After Hertwig (64).
