be considered to be the commencement of direct division. It is 

 apparently connected with metabolic processes in the nucleus (cf. 

 what is said upon the subject in Chapter VIII.). 



Nuclear multiplication 

 by direct division occurs 

 also amongst Protista ; 

 it is seen with especial 

 frequency in the group 

 of Acinetae, of which the 

 Podophrya gemmipara 

 (Fig. 104), described on 

 p. 229, is an instructive 

 example.
