Sphaerellopsis hyalina n. sp. (Chlamydomonadaceae)

Summary An apochlorotic member of the genus Sphaerellopsis is described, devoid of chromatophores but having an eye-spot and depositing starch. The wide envelope, characteristic of the genus, is only formed in dilute media. When better nourished the cells appear like those of Polytoma. Doubts are expressed as to the validity of green species of the genus differing in minor details.

Dauerquadrat-untersuchungen in Pflanzengeselischaften mit alpinen und montanen Reliktpflanzen im Transdanubischen Mittelgebirge (Ungarn)

Zusammenfassung Fünfjährige Dauerbeobachtungen von Transekten und Einzelquadraten an Dolomithängen des Transdanubischen Mittelgebirges (Ungarn) ergaben, daß neben den bereits beschriebenen Rasen-(Festuco-Brometum) und Waldgesellschaften (Fago-Ornetum) eine Übergangszone auftritt, in der montane und subalpine Reliktpflanzen vermchrt vorkommen. Extreme Boden. Mikroklima und Lichtverhältnisse sorgten in dieser Zone dafür, daß sich hier diese konkurrenzschwachen Arten bis heute behaupten konnten.

---

Summary Five years of investigations on permanent transects and single quadrats in the Transdanubian Mountains (Hungary) showed that a transition zone with many mountain and subalpine relict species occurs between the well-known grassland (Festuco-Brometum) and forest (Fago-Ornetum). Owing to the extreme soil, microclimate and light conditions of the studied dolomite slopes only here these species of low competitive value could survive.

Das geruchsorgan der Polypteridae (Pisces,Brachiopterygii)

The olfactory organ of the Polypteridae (Brachiopterygii) was studied histologically. It differs fundamentally from the olfactory organ of the Teleostei (Actinopterygii) and resembles that of Latimeria (Crossopterygii). The size of the olfactory organ indicates that the Polypteridae are macrosmatic.

Aspergillus Gracilis Bainier var. Sartoryi (Biourge) Batista,Lima e Vital n. var. — Sua importáncia filogenética

Summary We deal with a new variety ofAspergillus which we callAspergillus gracilis Bainiervar. sartoryi (Biourge) Batista, Lima and Vital.This variety appears to be very important under the phylogenetic point of view, apparently being an intermediate form betweenAspergillus andPenicillium.Its morphology resemblesA. gracilis but the conidia characteristics are distinct; we took the epithetsartoryi fromA. sartoryi Biourge which was not described by the respective author.We suggest, too, the transfer of the seriesA. restrictus, where we put our new variety, from the groupA. glaucus, to become independant, as a connective series in the phylogenetic development betweenAspergillus andPenicillium, since the type of the series and the other elements that it embraces does not produce sclerotia or cleistothecia and the conidial apparatus offers curious similarity toPenicillium. Besides, some fungi of the series grow well in certain culture media, in complete discordance with the members of the groupA. glaucus.

La variabilité cytologique dans la descendance des femelles de Luffia ferchaultella steph. (Lepidoptera psychidae)

Summary The procedure which leads to the restoration of the diploid chromosomal number in the egg of the parthenogenetic Luffia ferchaultella is similar in all the eggs laid by one female. But it may vary in the eggs of closely related females (mother and daughters or sisters). Therefore it is not a characteristic of the parthenogenetic strain.

Die Feinstruktur der Cerebraldrüse von Planorbarius corneus L. (Basommatophora)

Summary The fine structure of the cerebral gland of the fresh water snail Planorbarius corneus has been described. The apical cell surfaces of the epithelium bordering the lumen are covered with short microvilli and in some parts with cilia. There is a remarkable enlargement of the basal surface of those cells underlying the perineurium by long branched cell processes. The fine structure and density of the substances in the lumen differ; inclusions of paracrystallin structure are found. The possible functional significance of these organs in Pulmonates is discussed.

Verbreitung und Ökologie derVaucheria-Arten (Tribophyceae) des Elbe-Ästuars und der angrenzenden Küste

From the Elbe estuary and the adjacent North Sea coast, 19 species ofVaucheria are on record. Their horizontal and vertical distribution pattern as well as their association with macrophyte communities are described. With regard to ecological salinity tolerance and distribution below or above mean high water, 7 ecological groups ofVaucheria species are defined. Dominating species which form extensive algal mats in the upper eulittoral zone areVaucheria compacta var.dulcis (freshwater and oligohalinic section of the estuary),V. compacta var.compacta (mesohalinic section) andV. velutina together withV. subsimplex (polyhalinic and euhalinic section). The rare speciesV. vipera is recorded for the first time from the German coast.

Elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchungen zur Genese des Golgi-Apparates (Dictyosomen) und ihrer Kernabhängigkeit beiAcetabularia

Summary The genesis of dictyosomes has been studied on nucleate and enucleateAcetabularia cells.Dictyosomes differentiatede novo from prestages, the perinuclear bodies, which are synthesized under the actions of nuclear ribonucleoprotein. Consequently the formation of dictyosomes is nucleus (DNA) dependent.This was shown by experiments using actinomycin and puromycin and by experiments on darkened and enucleate cells.There is a relationship between dictyosome structure and function and the morphogenetic activities of a cell.
