I [8 DIVISION II. — COURSE OF DEVELOPMENT OF FUNGI. 



in the third edition of Strasburger's Zell-bildung u. Zell-theilung, admits of our conceiving 

 of all spore-formation as spe< ial cases of the process of cell-division without doing 

 violence to the facts, and makes any further discussion of the points in controversy 

 unnecessary. 



The historical data respecting the swarm-spores of the Fungi and their development 

 are to be found in the following works : —

Lastly, the formation and abjection of acrogenously produced spores and the develop- 

 ment of the spores of Saprolegnieae, Peronosporeae,and Mucor have been lately reviewed 

 in the works of A. Zalewski, Ueber Sporcnabsclmurung und Sporenabfallen bei den Pilzen, 

 Diss, and Flora, 1883, and by M. Biisgen, Die Entwickclung. d. Phycomycetenspo- 

 rangien, Diss, and in Pringsheirn's Jahrb. XIII, Heft 2 (1882). 



The special works quoted in Chapter V should be referred to for details connected 

 with this subject.
