CHANGES IN CELL-ORGANS OF DROSERA ROTUNDIFOLIA. 411 
The Nucleus is in position, size, and shape as in unfed speci- 
mens. They also agree with the resting nuclei in their general 
appearance of plumpness and turgor. 
The Nuclear Chromosomes are peripheral granules which 
are either equally small or very slightly larger than those of 
specimens that have never been fed. They stain the same 
deep blue, and are similar in shape and arrangement. 
The Nuclear Plasm is granular. Its general arrangement 
produces a sponge-like appearance, and is therefore similar to 
the least dense specimens among controls. It shows affinity 
for both dyes, as does the nuclear plasm of controls. 
The Nucleolus is exactly as in controls,—that is, very evident, 
with distinct endonucleoli. 
LATERAL SUPERFICIAL GLAND-CELLS. 
The Resting State, seen in Unfed Leaves used as 
Controls. Fig. 13, Plate 24. 
The Cell Wall is turgid, and stains pale blue. 
The Cytoplasm is either not retracted at all from the cell 
wall, or is retracted as in the apical cells, except at certain 
points where it is applied to the basal wall and to the lower 
parts of the lateral walls. It is always attached by strands to 
the projections from the external wall. 
The Cytoplasm is exactly similar to that of the apical cells 
in its structure and staining properties, but frequently 
appears paler because it is less dense. It is very dense round 
the nucleus, but the more peripheral parts are largely vacuo- 
lated. A reddish tint such as sometimes occurs in apical cells 
round the nucleus is hardly ever seen in lateral ceils. 
The Nucleus is placed in the centre of the cell or slightly 
below it. It is similar to the nuclei of the apical gland-cells, 
though sometimes slightly paler owing to the nuclear plasm 
being somewhat less dense. 
Nuclear Chromosomes are like those of the apical cells, or 
sometimes the granules are slightly larger.
