_Odontota dorsalis._
FIGS. 69-70. First spermatocyte, metaphase.
71. First spermatocyte, equatorial plate.
72. First spermatocyte, metaphase, showing metakinesis of the
heterochromosomes.
73-74. First spermatocyte, anaphase.
75-76. Second spermatocyte, equatorial plates.
77. Second spermatocyte, showing metakinesis of the small chromosome
(_s_).
78. Second spermatocyte, prophase, showing chromosomes longitudinally
split.
79-80. Young spermatids, _n_ the chromatin nucleolus.
81-87. A series of stages in the development of the sperm head, showing
the various phases in the history of the chromatin nucleolus (_n_).
88. Cross-sections of nearly mature sperm heads.
89-90. Equatorial plates of spermatogonia of abnormal individual, 15
large chromosomes, 2 small ones.
91. First spermatocyte from same testis, spireme stage, showing 2 small
chromosomes associated with 1 large one and a plasmosome.
92. First spermatocyte from the same testis, metaphase showing a similar
heterochromosome group.
93. Second spermatocyte from same testis, equatorial plate, showing 2
small chromosomes.
_Epilachna borealis_ (_Family Coccinellidæ_).
94. Equatorial plate of spermatogonium, 17 large chromosomes and 1 small
one.
95. First spermatocyte, spireme stage, showing the unequal pair.
96-97. First spermatocyte, late prophases.
98. First spermatocyte, metaphase, showing chromosomes of different
forms.
99-100. First spermatocyte, equatorial plate.
101. Unequal heterochromosome pair from a metaphase.
102. First spermatocyte, anaphase; ordinary chromosomes stippled to show
more clearly the metakinesis of the unequal pair.
103. Second spermatocyte, equatorial plates.
104. Second spermatocyte, prophase.
105-106. Abnormal giant spermatids, probably in process of degeneration.
_Euphoria inda_ (_Family Scarabæidæ_).
107. Equatorial plate of spermatogonium, 20 chromosomes. The 2 smallest
are the unequal pair of heterochromosomes (_l_ and _s_).
108. Resting spermatogonium, showing plasmosome (_p_).
109. First spermatocyte, spireme stage.

heterochromosome group.
133-135. First spermatocyte, beginning of metakinesis.
136. First spermatocyte, equatorial plate, _x_ the unequal pair.
