 at this juncture to do more than mention that they are granular,

 CH = chromosomes. G = Gclgi rod (nebenkern batonette, dictyosome, chrondrio-

 plasmosome.

Fig. 5. — Prophase ; centrosome divided, spindle-forming ; archoplasmic sphere 

 disappearing; Golgi rods becoming sorted out into two subequal parts (six and 

 seven) ; chromatinic spireme in nucleus, and mitochondria inert. 



Fig. 6. — Nuclear membrane disappearing, karyosome and plasmosome floating 

 free preparatory to degeneration, chromosomes present, and Golgi rods at asters of 

 spindle.
