The lower neck cells approach and apparently become grown to- gether, and as the divisions in the lower neck cells here contrib- ute to the calyptra, the young embryo becomes more deeply sunken in the prothallial tissue than is common in the Ferns. The basal wall is transverse, as in the Marattiacese, and the formation of the quadrants takes place as usual. The position of the quadrant walls is, however, some

The gametophyte phase or stage of the plants, then, is decreasing in size and durance as the sporophyte stage is increasing. We shall be interested to see if this holds good of the fern allies, that is of the plants which belong to the same group as the ferns.
