EXPLANATION OF PLATE VII. 
Illustrating Miss Baden’s paper on Germination of the Spores of Coprinus sterquilinus, Fr. 
(All the figures are drawn with the Abb6 drawing apparatus. Figs. 1-5, 9, and 10 are drawn 
without the Bacteria, for the sake of clearness. Figs. 9 and 10 on a lower scale.) 
Fig. 1. Germination of spore, showing clear, light-refracting vesicle (Leitz, obj. 7, oc. 4). 
Fig. 2. Germ-tubes arising from vesicle (Leitz, obj. 7, oc. 4). 
Fig. 3. Showing Fig. 2 more advanced (Leitz, obj. 7, oc. 4). 
Fig. 4. Germinating spore after about thirty-six hours (Leitz, obj. 7, oc. 4). 
Fig. 5. Ditto, after forty-eight hours (Leitz, obj. 7, oc. 4). 
Fig. 6. Germinating spore in early stages, thickly covered with Bacteria (Leitz, obj. 3, oc. 4). 
Fig. 7. Shows a slightly older stage than Fig. 8, the germ-tubes being covered with Bacteria 
(Leitz, obj. 3, oc. 4). 
Fig. 8. Cross-fusion between different mycelia at x, showing open connexion (Leitz, obj. 7, oc. 4). 
Fig. 9. Neighbouring mycelia, A, B, and C from different spores, connected together by cross¬ 
fusions at x x and x 2 (Leitz, obj. 3, oc. 2). 
Fig. 10. Mycelium covered with Bacteria, particularly towards the centre and at those points 
where branches are giv.en off (Leitz, obj. 7 oc. 2).
