 the ovum and oosphere Ganglion cell and spore Spinal cord 

 and root of Phaseolus multiflorus Unipolar cell and section of 

 branch Spinal and reticular fibrils (human) and cells from a 

 leaf Blastoderm of rabbit and pollen mother cells of plants 

 Cartilage and pollen cells Section of sciatic nerve and cell of 

 plant Fibro-cartilage cells and thickened cells from stem of 

 plant Human and vegetable glands Cell of plain muscular 

 fibre and a vegetable fibre Pregnant human womb and ovule 

 of a gymnosperm Epithelium cells (human) and peripheral 

 protoplasm of embryo-sac of a plant Endothelium of a serous 

 membrane (human) and cells from a tendril of a plant Section 

 across a nerve in the second thoracic anterior root of a dog and 

 section through internode of the short axis of a plant Capillary 

 vessels of the air-cells of horse's lung and laticiferous vessels of a 

 plant Sachs and others upon laticiferous vessels in plants 

 Injected blood-vessels of a human muscle and reticulately 

 united latex vessels of a plant Irritability of vegetable proto- 

 plasm Similarity of senses Motor mechanism of plants 

 Stomata Stimulation Sense organs of plants Specific 

 energies of the sensory nerves Enzymes Fats in plants 

 Wax in plants and fruits Movement or circulation of proto- 

 plasm in plants Cells from leaf of Elodea and hair of Trades- 

 cantia Rhythmic movement in plants Paralysis or destruc- 

 tion of protoplasmic movement Rate of propagation of 

 stimuli in plants - - 118 



CHAPTER X 

 AMCEBOID MOVEMENT 



Movement apparently spontaneous Nucleo-protein All breathing 

 or taking in oxygen Nature of the movement Effect of 

 change of temperature, chemical stimuli, electrical stimuli, etc. 

 Foregoing paraphrased and explained Live and dead 

 amoeba The experiment of Ampere Attraction and repulsion 

 Experiments of Davy, Le Bon and Arrhenius Czapec on 

 salt solutions Inorganic salts in the blood plasma Rigor or 

 cessation of protoplasmic movement in plants - - - 138
