from the parent ; this is called budding, from its similarity to 

 the mode of budding in vegetable growth. 



III. This budding process may proceed within the parent 

 individual when separation takes place by an act of expulsion,

suddenly instead of gradually, which gives a third type of 

 agamogenesis, as may be illustrated by the diagram Fig. 45. 



In this case the offspring comes forth immature in develop- 

 ment, but complete in organization. All three of these modes

FIG. 47. Dioecious gamogenesis. In this mode of generation sex differentiation has taken place 

 before the individual is complete, and co-operation of two distinct individuals is essential to 

 each act of generation (a a'). Separate organic elements are developed in the sex individuals

fore generation begins. Gamogenesis may (IV) be moncecious, 

 in which case the sex differentiation has proceeded only so far 

 as to differentiate the organs within the body of the individual 

 organism, each individual developing both of the sexual ele- 

 ments. This mode of genesis may be represented by Fig. 46.
