RM2AFHXR4–. The structure and development of mosses and ferns (Archegoniatae). --sp. Fig. 177.—A, Osmunda cinnamomea, section of a recently fertilised archegonium,X4S0. A spermatozoid has penetrated the nucleus of the egg, and several arein the space above the egg. B, Onoclea sensibilis. Egg fourteen hours after thepenetration of the spermatozoid, which is still recognizable within the egg nucleus,X900. (B, after Shaw.) gonium opens, the egg is depressed above, and the nucleusflattened. As soon as the archegonium opens, and the dis-organised contents of the neck cells are expelled, the tggbecomes turgid

Two of the longer ones resemble the lips of some crea-ture, and since the sporangium opens between them they aresometimes termed the lip cells. These lip cells are connected withthe upper end of the annulus on oneside and with the upper end of the stalkon the other side by thin-walled cells,which may be termed connective cells,since they hold each lip cell to its partof the opening sporangium. The cellson the side of the sporangium are alsothin-walled. If we now examine asporangium from the back, or dorsalUnder side
