which are a little longer than broad; up to twice as long. When the cystocarps 
are ripe, the cushion is thicker, the filaments somewhat longer, the constituting 
cells more numerous and somelimes longer. The carpogonia are terminal on parti- 
cular (3—)4—5-celled branches given off from one of the undermost cells in a 
nemathecial filament or from one of the bottom cells of the nemathecium (fig. 116). 
As in the foregoing species, the carpogonium encloses one side of the subterminal

cell, giving off a production reaching beyond the under face of this cell. In some 
cases no such lateral production was found, but these carpogonia were doubtless 
abnormally developed, abortive (fig. 116 C*). The auxiliary-cell branches which are 
given off from the lowest part of the nemathecial filaments consist of about four 
low seemingly equal cells. In fig. 116 E two fertilized carpogonia are shown, from 
which sporogenous filaments growing in a horizontal direction are given off. A 
similar filament in connection with an auxiliary-cell filament is shown in fig. 116 D. 
The development of the cystocarp has not been followed. At maturity the cysto- 
carpial nemathecium contains numerous rows of carpospores, each row consisting 
of up to five almost globular carpospores, each surrounded by a thick hyaline wall.
