Abstract
FURTHER observations on intranuclear aspects of giant nuclei found in the pharyngeal epithelium in Lumbricus have been made. A previous report was given concerning these nuclei1. Not only were the overall dimensions of these nuclei enlarged when compared with the more typical nuclei, but also on examination of the intranuclear morphology it became apparent that giant chromocentres (Figs. 1, 4 and 6), giant nucleoli (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6), and even giant nucleolar organizers (Figs. 3 and 4) were present.
