Fig. 12. Auxocyte in the beginning of the bouquet stage, the bouquet with 

 twisted spireme segments. The segments are considerably longer than the 

 nucleus and much twisted. They are all with one end attached to the chromo- 

 plast. Two linoplasts stained red. The linin network is also stained red. The 

 granosphere is cup-shaped ; at its upper margin is an archosome with two cen- 

 trioles. Several accessory archosomes in the plasmosphere. 



Fig. 1 3. Auxocyte in the perfect bouquet stage. The twelve segments have 

 shortened and straightened out ; some are connected, two and two, by a chromo- 

 plast, others are isolated. There are two dissolving linoplasts, intimately con- 

 nected with the linin network. The spheres not yet fully reconstituted, but in a 

 state of activity. A cell bridge connects two adjoining cells at the point of 

 reconstitution. An archosome in the granosphere and accessory archosomes both 

 in the spheres and in the cytoplasm. 



Fig. 14. Auxocyte in the perfect bouquet stage, but a little further advanced 

 than the last. The segments are more contracted, and some are seen to be 

 attached to chromoplasts, recognizable by their endochromatic granules. One 

 linoplast stained red. The spheres are bemg reconstituted. A centrally situ- 

 ated archosome with two centrioles. The granosphere is concave, with the con- 

 cave side upwards, facing the reader. The radiations are from the cytoplasm and 

 plasmosphere combined, the latter being in an active state of reconstitution. The 

 letters a-d indicate detail figures drawn to a larger scale in order to be more 

 distinct, but with the same objective and ocular. Figs. 14 a and 14 b are from a 

 deeper focus or plane. 



Fig. \\ a. An accessory archosome with a somosphere with centrioles, the 

 same one as figured in 14 ^. 



Fig. \i,b. The granosphere focussed deeper than in Fig. 14. The centrosomes 

 connected by a thread of somosphere. 



Fig. 14 c. Detail figure of linin network showing the linin granules and the 

 connection of the network with a linoplast. 



Fig. 14 d. Detail of three chromomeres showing the interior chromioles. 

 Drawn on a somewhat larger scale than Fig. 14. 



Fig. 15. Auxocyte in bouquet stage with split spireme segments. Chromo- 

 meres about twelve in each segment ; most of them are split, but not yet divided. 

 About six chromioles in each chromomere. The outer sphere not yet fully recon- 

 stituted, the granosphere being small, with a centrally located archosome with 

 two centrioles. An accessory archosome in the plasmosphere. A red-stained 

 linoplast in the nucleus. Several split chromoplasts connected with the spireme 

 segments. 



Fig. 16. Auxocyte in the separated and crossed spireme stage. The divided 

 and partly separated segments are not any more parallel, but cross each other in 

 various directions. Some are attached to chromoplasts. Four linoplasts. The 

 plasmosphere contains numerous rounded alveoles, containing secretions around 

 which are seen the individual granules of the plasma. The granosphere is large 

 and deeply stained. A centrally located archosome vrith two centrioles. Three 

 accessory archosomes in the plasmosphere, each with several centrioles sur- 

 rounded by somosphere. The granosphere is cup-shaped, with the concave part 

 turned upwards. 



Fig. 17. Auxocyte, separated spireme stage. Four chromoplasts with endo- 

 chromatic granules. Four linoplasts. The segments are twisted and separated
