 ganic forms which are capable of resulting from the 

 direct unfolding of some specks of new-born living 

 matter. The acceptance of such a view is rendered

much more easy than it would otherwise have been, by 



the following considerations : 



When enumerating 



modes of variation obser- 



vable amongst Torul^^ we might almost have added 

 that some were flagellated and active, whilst others 

 were non-flagellated and inactive. And, however fun- 

 damental such distinctions may seem to be, their 

 importance must be diminished in the minds of those 

 who know that two forms of Fungi, in other respects 

 almost indistinguishable from one another, may have 

 reproductive units which are dissimilar in this re-
