M. R. Dickson*

Dominion Physical Laboratory, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Lower Hutt.

Abstract Electron microscope investigations of Pithomyces chartarum spores fixed in Osmium tetroxide and embedded in methacrylate have shown the association of a cytoplasmic granule with septal pores. Unusual concentrations of mitochondria and rhibosomes have been noted, and a complex system of layers has been seen in the spore coat. The general cell structure is discussed.
