1. Introduction. 



DicTYOKiNBSis, or clivision of the Golgi bodies during cell 

 division, has recently been worked out by Professor J. Bronte 

 Gatenby and the present writer in the male germ-cells of several 

 animals (5). It was found that the distribution of the Golgi 

 elements, or dictyosomes, to both halves of a dividing cell was 

 a very haphazard process and was unaccompanied by any 

 splitting of the dictyosomes such as occurs in the case of the 

 chromosomes. In the cricket Stenobothrus, the dictyosomes
