Thus the beautiful little cups of Craterium will some- 

 times fail of complete separation, and part of the 

 plasmodium is content to take the cruder form of a 

 plasmodiocarp, "as 

 shown in Fig. 8. Again, 

 sporangia, which are 

 sometimes stalked, are 

 at other times sessile, 

 and thus differ but little 

 from a plasmodiocarp. 

 In the Dictyostelium 

 (one of the Acrasiese to 

 behereaftermentioned), 

 a similar phenomenon 

 has been observed; 

 although in the normal 

 form the production of 

 spores occurs at the top 

 of the pedicel, or 

 column, in some cases 

 the plasmodium turns 

 into spores without ever
