be treated separately. It must first be mentioned that 
the great majority of the procarps observed were in- 
completely developed. These organs are easily recognizable 
by their staining power with hematoxyline (HEIDENHAIN, 
HANSEN’s and Mayer’s hemalum) and their abundant 
protoplasmic contents, and the bearing cell, too, by its 
great size. The latter is always present, 
but the carpogonial branches are often 
more or less defective. Even when 
they are normally tricellular, the out- 
most cell is most frequently not developed 
as a normal carpogonium but roundish 
like the other cells of the branch (fig. 8 
B to the left, 10 B—D, 11C). A two- 
celled branch is shown in fig. 9. The 
best developed carpogonial branches were

met with in May and June, when long, 
pit-connections between the bearing cell 
and the carpogonial branch and between 
the cells of the latter. The carpogonium has a well devel- 
oped trichogyne but the ventral part is inflated, only poorly 
provided with protoplasm, and contains no nucleus; it is 
evidently avorted. The same is the case with that shown 
in fig. 8C where the trichogyne is short, scarcely projecting 
over the surface, and the contents still more faint. The 
carpogonium fig. B shows a nucleus, but the protoplasm 
is feebly developed and the trichogyne only discernible as 
a canal through the outer wall. In fig. D a well developed 
trichogyne is seen protruding far above the surface, but its 
lower part was not present in the section. The carpogonium
