DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PLATES. 



Fig. 12. The adjacent ends of cells III and IV from an individual similarly treated, showing 

 fibrillge and protoplasmic connection. 12. 



Enarthromyces indicus Thaxter. 



Fig. 13. Portion of the axis of the receptacle, showing the bud (a) from which the peritheciurn 

 and its stalk-cell are formed. D 4. 



Fig. 14. The bud (a) of the previous figure has become divided by a transverse partition into 

 two superposed cells (c and d). D4. 



Fig. 15. The cell (c) of the previous figure has become divided into a lower cell (c"), the stalk- 

 cell, and an upper cell (c'), the primordial cell of the peritheciurn, the cell (d) being the primordial 

 cell of the procarpe. D 4. 



Fig. 16. The cell (c') has divided into four cells, which are beginning to grow up around the 

 base of (d). D 4. 



Fig. 17. A more advanced stage. The cells (i, i) of the previous figure are divided by transverse 

 septa and have grown up around the base of the cell (d), which has now developed into a mature 

 procarpe, (f) the carpogenic cell, (e") the tricophoric cell, (tr) the trichogyne, the narrow tip of 

 which is alone receptive. ^ 2. 



Fig. 18. Portion of the axis of a receptacle showing relative position of the young peritheciurn 

 and of the antheridium. The receptive tip of the trichogyne has collapsed, fertilization having 

 presumably been accomplished. ^ 2. 



Fig. 19. Antheridium seen in optical section showing antherozoids mature in its cavity and in 

 process of formation from its antheridial cells. ^ 4
