 wohl einer Neu-Untersuchung bedûrfte. 



Barker's Aufklarungen bei Monascus Barkeri waren 

 schon nicht ûberzeugend und weder Dangeard, noch ich 

 selbst haben seine Beobachtungen bestâtigen kônnen. 



Zum Schluss eine kurze Mitteilung *) desselben Verfassers 

 ùber Rypardbim sp., ûber welchen er schon frûher pu- 

 blicirte ^) und aus welcher die folgenden Worte fur uns 

 wichtig sind: 



„Both the antlieridial brandi and the ascogonium are 

 „uninucleate when first formed; but subséquent nuclear 

 „division occurs in each organ near the time of fusion. 

 „The fusion takes place at the point of contact of thèse 

 „structures, this usually being at or near their apices. 

 „Probably a nucleus passes from the former to 

 „the latter at this period^) and shortly afterwards 

 „walls are formed in both so that the resulting cells are 

 „uninucleate with the exception of the subterminal cell 

 „of ihe ascogonium, which is sometimes found to contain 

 „two nuclei close together. Investing hyphae then deve- 

 „lop and encircle the ascogonium which enlarges conside- 

 „rably and for a short period consists of a row of several 

 „uninucleate cells. Thèse are later found in a binucleate 

 „or occasionally a quadrinucleate condition. From them 

 „ hyphae arise and the asci are formed from their binu- 

 „cleate subterminal cells." 



Der Wert dieser Mitteilung wird erst beurteilt werden

 von mir unterstrichene Satz verringert ihre Wichtigkeit. 



Wir kônnten also schliessen, dass fur keine einzige
