12 A. E. HILTON ON CAPILLITIA OF MYCETOZOA. | ^ 



V, ith vital ptencmena ; and when tlie spores Lave been scattered, 

 the sporangial remains, including the capillitia, are derelict 

 and worthless. In fact, from first to last, the capillitial threads, 

 notwithstanding their variety and often elaborate details, ar& 

 sterile things, of only secondary importance, and of little biologi- 

 cal significance. Still, they are direct products of the living: 

 organism ; and the smallest thread which falls from the loom 

 of life may convey at least a hint of the texture of the living 

 fabric which is being so mysteriously woven on the frame of 

 the universe. 



Note. — Previous papers on the Mycetozoa, by the same author, 

 were published in the Journal of the Quehett Microscopical Cluhy 

 issued November 1906, November 1908, November 1910, Nov- 

 ember 1914, November 1915, April 1916, and November 1916. 

 The present article concludes the series.
