Abstract
IN recent years it has been shown, with the aid of improved methods of fixing and staining, that, in addition to nuclei, centrosomes, plastids, etc., there are certain other morphological constituents of the cytoplasm which have well-defined characteristics, and appear to be of general occurrence in both animal and vegetable cells. These are minute granular structures inown under various names as chondriosomes, mito chondria, chondrioconts, etc., which occur in the form oof granules, rods, filaments or vesicular structures scattered about in considerable numbers in the cyto plasm, and forming collectively what is known as the o chondriome element of the cell. The chondriosomes are held by many observers to be of great physiological importance, and have been credited with various functions in connexion with the transmission of heredi tary characters, metabolic activities, and the forma tion of the chromoplasts.
