PLATE VII. 



FIGS. 13 and 14. Shows the entire chromosome complex in a multipolar spindle 

 which may have arisen from the fusion of two nuclei in eggs like those shown in 

 Figs. 2 and 3. It will readily be seen that the number of chromosomes is very much 

 higher than would arise from a spindle formed from a single nucleus. (X 1,600.) 



FIG. 15. An equatorial plate view of a first cleavage spindle of the bipolar 

 type. The number of chromosomes is far larger than the haploid number char- 

 acteristic of maturation figures. (X 1,600.) 



FIG. 16. Another example of the same phenomenon shown in Fig. 15. (Xi,6oo.)
