Ross, I an K. (Yale U., New Haven, Conn.) Further studies on meiosis in the Myxomycetes. Amer. Jour. Bot. 48(3): 244–248. Illus. 1961.—Photomicrographs of meiotic figures in 5 species of Myxomycetes are presented as further evidence of the time and location of meiosis in these organisms. Three members of the Physarales studied differed from species studied previously in that the cleavage of the protoplasm began during the second meiotic division and not after the divisions had been completed. Chromosome numbers were found to be in accord with previous observations and ranged from n = 25 to 90 depending on the species.
