STUDIES ON CHROMOSOMES

Fig. 2 a, late prophase No. 64, spindle forming; 6, metaphase of same in side 
view; c, late prophase of M. femoratus, No. 29 (22 chromosomes), for comparison 
with a; d-g, first division metaphase, polar views. No. 64; h, i, similar views of 
M. terminalis, No. 3 (Montgomery's material), with 21 chromosomes; j, similar 
view of M. femoratus, No. 29 (22 chromosomes) ; k, similar view of M. terminalis. 
No. 43 (23 chromosomes), with one small supernumerary, for comparison. 
the early anaphase are more or less clearly quadripartite, and sep- 
arate into bipartite daughter chromosomes connected by conspic- 
uous double fibers (figs. 4, b-h) but true tetrads (such for instance, 
as those observed by Levfere and McGill in Anax, '08) are rarely 
if ever seen. The quadripartite form, though very characteristic 
of this division, is by no means invariable in case of the large 
bivalents, and has not been seen in case of the eccentric odd 
chromosome.
