STEVENS: KINOQPLASM AND NUCLEOLUS. 55 
It does not appear to me that the occurrence in tissues of nuc- 
leoh in definite numbers is evidence against their nutritive function, 
as Schaffner has suggested.!| On the contrary it might be antici- 
pated that reserve material which is to be used in a definite time 
and space would be stored up in definite quantity and in the imme- 
diate neighborhood of or within the organ which is to govern its use.
