pale in color is formed, with several large cells in the center which 
are conspicuously filled with oil globules. These bulbils are usually 
more or less spherical, but not infrequently become elongated, as 
shown in text fig. 2, which shows a group of bulbils, the longest of 
which measures 78 by 140 uw and is probably the result of the fusing 
of two immature forms. These bulbils germinate readily in water. 
Fig. 13 shows a germinating bulbil 75 by 67.5 u in diameter after 
24 hours ina Van Tieghem cell. The young hyphae, which have a 
large number of oil globules, are usually produced from the larger 
cells, but “y cell is capable of germination. Occasionally as 
the bulbils grow older the cells 
composing them adhere less 
firmly together, becoming more 
and more like indep 
with the development of the 
bulbil of Papulospora polyspora 
Hotson (6), which in turn 
suggests a similar condition —
