AND SPECIES-HYBRIDS OF THE GENUS SACCHARUM 287 
telophase also one always finds, in the cytoplasm, usually near one of 
the poles, a long menbranaceous body. Possibly this is a rest of the nu- 
cleolus. It is also regularly present in Rukcree II, while it is never found 
in any of the other Saccharum-species, so that it apparently is charac- 
teristic of the group of cane-varieties to which Chunnee and Ruckree 
belong. 
Counting chromosomes in polar views of nuclear plates is difficult in 
the case of Chunnee. In 28 counts the results vacillated between 46 and 
50. Fig. 77 gives a picture of a plate containing certainly 47 chroma- 
tine-elements. 
In anaphase clearly unpaired chromosomes, which lag behind, can 
be distinguished from the gemini. Fig. 78 pictures an anaphase, in 
which the two chromosome-groups lie obliquely, each containing about 
43 chromosomes; between the two groups 4 unpaired chromosomes are 
seen, which have already undergone fission.

An anaphase, viewed from one of the poles is seen in fig. 79. The two 
chromosome-groups lie in the same section and can be observed at a 
different adjustment. It is seen, that the chromosomes are arranged in
