Demonstration of canonic gonial mitosis and meiosis in Parascaris equorum.
It is shown that, contrary to what has been held, separate canonic chromosomes, without fusion into a chromatin mass, occur in the meiotic prophase of Parascaris equorum. In mitosis no club-shaped chromosome ends are visible. These results, obtained with a modified fixation procedure, which is described, have been checked by supravital observation.
