Abstract
Nath and Chopra have recently completed investigations on the spermatogenesis of the Simla slug, Anadenus altivagus (Theobald). This material has unexpectedly turned out to be an excellent material for the demonstration of (1) the origin of Golgi dictyosomes from the mitochondrial granules by alignment, and (2) the secretion of the acrosome by the dictyosomes. These workers have also examined the living material under the phase-contrast microscope.
