Beiträge zur Biologie der Pflanzen

Abstract

THE first part of the second volume of Conn's Beiträge contains five papers, two of them being illustrated with three plates each. The first paper is by Dr. Leopold Auerbach, “Cell and Nucleus,” remarks on Strasburger's work, “Ueber Zellbildung und Zelltheilung.” It is a critical paper, and hardly admits of any condensation. He tries to controvert the statements of Stras-burger, and sums up thus:—1. The longitudinally striated body in the interior of the cell is not the “nucleus,” but the middle part of the so-called “karyo-litic figure”, and therefore a product of the mixing of the special substance of the nucleus with the surrounding protoplasm; and 2, That the young nuclei do not develop by the fission of the mother nucleus.
