unusual length, which may be regarded as the heterochromosome, the 

 probable explanation being that the attachment of the spindle fiber 

 was telomitic rather than atelomitic. 



In figures 11, 6, c, d, and c,are shown polar views of anaphase plates; 

 6, c, d are of the first division; e is one of the daughter plates of the 

 second division. The chromosomes labeled h are those which I have

interpreted as the heterochromosomes, while those which are sepa- 

 rated sHghtly from each other I have regarded as autosomes. Refer- 

 ence to the figures of the lateral views of anaphase plates shows that 

 in every plate there are several chromosomes which lie rather closely 

 applied to each other. The reason for the presence of several slightly 

 elongated chromosomes in each of these polar views will be seen 

 readily when one visualizes the polar views of such sections as 8a. 

 It will be seen at once that these, and similarly oriented chromosomes
