division is also essentially the same, except the absence of the 

 halo-formation in later divisions. 



14. At the end of the telophase a centrosome-like body 

 appears suddenly near the mass of the daughter chromosomes 

 (b). It has prominent kinoplasmic radiations and one or more 

 well-stained granules in the center. It concerns with the forma- 

 tion of the nuclear membrane, the process of which is quite 

 similar to that of the formation of " Hautschicht " in the 

 ascospores (c, d). 1 * When the membrane is completely formed 

 no trace of this body is found (e). 2)

15. The writer has also studied the resting nuclei of Synchy- 

 trixitn decipiens and found that their structure is essentially the 

 same as that of 5. Puerarise. Although the writer has not yet 

 investigated the karyokinetic stages of the former, he is inclined 

 to conclude, judging from the evidence on hand, that the details 

 of the division would be almost identical to the latter species.
