* In these figures the chromosomes had not yet divided, 
t Two ends of spindle not accurately separable : t^vo or three 
chromosomes possibly cut in two sections. 
It will be seen that while there is considerable variation in 
the chromosome number, the numbers in the two spindles 
in most eggs are in fair agreement, and further, that the 
number of vesicles added to the chromosome number is often 
considerably above 38. This, and the fact that there is 
no diminution in the chromosome number as compared with 
that in first division anaphases, confirms us in our belief that 
in the second division the vesicles are given off from chromo- 
somes rather than that whole clu’omosomes are converted into 
vesicles. Occasionally also in second division anaphases, 
chromosomes which have clearly divided, and are travelling
