Abstract
In an unpublished paper, Wilson of the University of Wichita, describes the paired, two lobed testes (occasionally three lobed) of Chrysochus auratus, Fab. The problem presented here is whether or not these lobes are of equal function. Observation of a section of the testis, fig. 1, shows practically the same number of mitotic figures and mature sperms in each lobe, thus showing that each lobe shares in the production of mature spermatozoa. This paper gives only the chromosomal activity during spermatogenesis. No attempt was made to determine the history of a particllar chromosome, to find unusual division stages, nor to show activity of cytoplasm or cytoplasmic inclusions.
