Fig. 3. A daughter-cell, showing the chromosomes separating and the fibers thickening.

Fig. 4. The chromosomes are scattered over the nuclear membrane; the fibers appear as a few thick rods. The beginning of the acrosome is seen. The accessory chromosome can be distinguished.

Fig. 5. Same as fig. 4, with some of the fibers curved and no acrosome.

Fig. 6. Same as fig. 5, but with the acrosome visible.

Fig. 7. The chromosomes are granular; the fibers have bent and formed the round “striated nebenkern.” The acrosome is present.

Fig. 8a. Same as fig. 7, but the acrosome is not present.

Fig. 8b. The fibers run parallel with the long axis of the nebenkern.

Fig. 9. Here is shown a partial end view of the nebenkern. The accessory chromosome and the acrosome are both prominent.

Fig. 10. The nebenkern shows some of the fibers on the under side. It is beginning to break up.

Fig. 11. The nebenkern shows the beginning of the dark center; the fibers extend from it to the ring. The acrosome has a peculiar appearance.
