Phyllophora Brodiæi and Actinococcus subcutaneus. 25 
This cell is shown more enlarged in figs. II and III, 
where the connection between the protuberances and the 
cells produced by them is very distinct. It seems that pit- 
connections may also be established between the large cell 
and cells of the gametophyte. As shown by DARBISHIRE, 
the nemathecia-producing filaments can be made more easily

visible by the addition of iodine, when the latter will turn 
red-brown (not dark blue) owing to their contents of finely 
granulated floridean starch, while the cells of the mother 
plant remain unstained. In fig. V reproduced after such 
a preparation the nemathecia-producing filaments ap- 
pear very distinctly owing to their dark contents, There 
seems in this case to be more than one fertile auxiliary
