    Notes: Microscopic examination of both living and stained forms indicates that the so-called ‘multivacuolate’ and ‘amicronucleate races of Paramecium caudatum’ belong to the species Paramecium multimicronucleata. The published accounts of the morphology and cultural characteristics of the various forms are compared and provide additional evidence. A more complete description is given, including distinctive characters previously omitted.The conjugation process of P. multimicronucleata in general resembles that of P. caudatum, most of the differences being due to the presence of four micronuclei instead of one. These each divide twice with characteristic figures, twelve of the sixteen daughter nuclei then degenerating. One of the remaining four splits to form a single pair of functional pronuclei in each cell. The two migratory pronuclei interchange as in P. caudatum. The synkaryon divides three times, and probably seven of these nuclei degenerate. The remaining one apparently undergoes two divisions. In most cases by six to eight hours after the conjugants separate two micronuclei of the four thus produced form enlarged macronuclear anlagen, the other two remaining as micronuclei. Each anlage divides within the next two or four hours, producing four macronuclear and four micronuclear analagen. Two fissions, each preceded by a division of the micronuclei, restore vegetative conditions.The process described above is compared with conjugation in P. bursaria, P. caudatum, and P. putrinum.

    Notes: The parasynaptic union of chromosomes associated with the formation of a karyosphere is demonstrated in the spermatocytes of Phanaeus.The twelve V-shaped leptotene threads are polarized with their apices embedded in one plasmosome-like body, their distal ends in another (primary and secondary caps, respectively), and undergo a conjugation of the parasynaptic type. The distal ends of the chromosomes are freed from their attachment in the secondary cap. The six pachytene loops retain their polarized configuration.The basichromatin of the pachytene chromosomes appears ultimately to be withdrawn to form the karyosphere comprising six chromatic bodies within an oxychromatic «plasmosome,» the latter probably derived from the primary cap. The two caps are believed to arise from the chromosomes. The primary cap apparently becomes incorporated again in the chromosomes; the secondary cap, together with linin remnants of the pachytene chromosomes, disintegrates in the nucleus as residual chromatin.In the dissolution of the karyosphere six ring-shaped tetrads emerge arranged in a temporarily connected chain, giving under certain conditions, the misleading impression of twelve components arranged end to end. The entire content of the karyosphere appears to be employed in the formation of the chromosomes; no visible plasmosome remains.

    Notes: The development and cytology of cartilage and bone in the limbs from the fifty-second hour of incubation to the first day after hatching are described.The chief points of interest arising from this study are: (1) Chondroblasts when liberated during cartilage resorption die and disintegrate. (2) All the long bones possess structures which, though not undergoing independent ossification, are homologous with the mammalian epiphyses. (3) Endochondral ossification occurs only in the epiphyses and ends of the diaphyses. (4) The marrow cavity contains multinucleated giant cells which appear to be formed by the fusion of degenerating cells.

    Notes: A review of the literature of the gastric glands of reptiles shows marked differences of opinion concerning the nature and character of the cells composing the gastric glands.The present investigation of the gastric glands of the alligator has been carried out by histochemical and physiological experiments, rather than by the usual morphological methods, but the results can be stated both in terms of structure and function.1The surface epithelial cells and those lining the gland pits in the fundic, cardiac, and pyloric regions of the stomach of the alligator are not strictly comparable functionally to the mucous cells of mammals.2The cells composing the necks and bodies of the glands in the fundus, according to histochemical reactions, are parietal cells.3Certain cells lying beneath the columnar epithelial cells lining the lumen of the stomach and the foveolae react to one method of fixation and staining as do the chief cells of mammalian material.4The results of the experiment with the vital dye, neutral red, show that the cells of the gastric pits, the necks and bodies of the glands in the fundus of the alligator's stomach, react identically as those of the mammalian stomach.5The gastric juice of the alligator is acid to litmus-paper and contains a free mineral acid.

    Notes: Systems of fiber-like structures traverse ciliated cells and epithelia in a way to suggest conduction paths for stimuli for coordinating and regulating ciliary movement, and results of microdissection support such an interpretation.Some fibers of the systems in epithelia of the gill terminate on the nuclear membrane, some between nuclei in the basal cytoplasm.The observed double refringency of the fibrillar apparatus places it in the category of irritable and contractile substance.Bipolar cells and nerve-like fibers lie immediately below and parallel with ciliated epithelia of the gill, but direct connections of these fibers with the intracellular system, although suspected, was not demonstrated.Ciliated epithelia of the gill are syncytial in character in the direction of the beat of cilia.Interciliary structures occur in the cuticular portion of ciliated epithelia which are interpreted to function in taking up strains in the gelled cytoplasm caused by the beat of cilia.Cilia occur in pairs in epithelia of the gill, and members of pairs are fused at their distal ends.Each cilium, as seen in dark-field illumination, pierces its basal body, and the fiber that is a continuation of the cilium divides immediately below the basal body into two; one diverging to the right, one to the left.Each cilium is composed of many delicate fibrillae.

    Notes: The primordial germ cells of urodeles and anurans can occupy comparable positions in the embryo only in very early stages of development, if at all. When first recognizable as reproductive elements, their situation in the two amphibian orders is quite strikingly different.The germ cells first become recognizable in urodeles in the medial edge of the lateral mesoderm; there is no evidence that their position previous to this time is other than mesodermal. In the anura they are entodermal in association during early development; they are finally separated from the dorsal portion of the roof of the archenteron to form a single axial germ-cell cord. No amphibian species studied showed a mode of origin different from that characteristic of its order.The so-called migration of the amphibian germ cells to their definitive situation is interpreted as the result of growth shiftings of related parts. Germ cells do not migrate independently through the tissues. Aberrant or ectopic cells for the most part result from failures or faulty correlations of growth processes. Certain aberrant cells of the caudal portion of the body in urodeles indicate the inclusion of sex elements in the ventral as well as in the lateral mesoderm.

    Notes: The musculature of the ophidian head is a fairly complex structure, due to the specialization of the skull and the peculiar movements and motions made possible by the high degree of streptostylism.This musculature has been derived from the lacertilian type by a splitting and a shifting of the original elemental muscle masses of this group. Most of the muscles are clearly homologous with those of the Lacertilia. Some cannot be homologized by a study of the mature forms.The greatest differences lie in the separation of the muscle masses in the ophidia, as compared with the undivided masses in the Lacertilia. Since the jaw movements of the Lacertilia are rather simple, there is no need for any subdivision or splitting of the jaw muscles, but with the complex movements of the ophidia this becomes necessary.A few of the ophidian muscles appear to be neomorphs, as no key to their origin could be determined by a comparison with lacertilians.

    Notes: Astylosternus robustus has greatly reduced lungs. All Amphibia exhibiting such a reduction have their epidermis either penetrated by capillaries or thinned to facilitate greater cutaneous respiration. The epidermis of both sexes of A. robustus is penetrated by capillaries. The «hairs» of the adult male are merely extensions of this vasculated epidermis to compensate for the greater muscularity, size, and activity of this sex.The digits of terrestrial urodeles do not serve as special centers of cutaneous respiration. Digital sinuses are present in all urodeles. The abdominal and femoral tubercles of arboreal and some terrestrial frogs may function greatly in respiration, for their epidermis is penetrated by capillaries.All urodeles and frogs having well-developed and frequently emptied lungs possess a functionally complete auricular septum and a spiral valve. Injection experiments demonstrate a complete separation of arterial and venous blood in living specimens. A reduction of the lungs conditions a reduction of the left auricle, but disuse causes no change in size. A great decrease of the lungs, or even a disuse of them, conditions a fenestration of the auricular septum and a loss of the spiral valve. The spiral valve is formed by a backward growth of one of the synangial valves and is not homologous with the accessory valves of dipnoans. Lungless salamanders have no left auricle and no spiral valve.

    Notes: One of the most perfect “lock and key” adaptations known, the external reproductive organs in spiders are subject to considerable variations. Two extreme types of female reproductive organs are described in detail, and these in turn compared with the European species of the same genus. Thus it is shown that the reproductive system in the same genus of spiders may exhibit great differences in structure while all other characters remain more or less the same, the natural conclusion being that caution should be exercised in creating new or splitting up old genera on the basis of characters of the external reproductive system. The same applies to the male.Two extreme types of palpi are described and then compared with the palpi of the European species. In the case of the male, however, the differences seem to be of a less profound nature.
