Additional information

The term “cytoplasmic fission” is preferred to “cell division” because “cell division” is used in many instances as an inclusive term covering both mitosis and the actual division of the cytosome. InAmoeba proteus, mitosis and cytoplasmic fission are, as stated elsewhere (Daniel andChalkley, 1932) (Chalkley, 1933), almost completely separated in time, and exhibit a considerable degree of independence, thus justifying their separate consideration. No attempt is made in this paper to account for mitotic phenomena. Wherever the therm cell divisionis used, as in the introduction, it may be taken as inclusive.
