Abstract
THE spermatogenesis of Gammarus chevreuxi having been investigated by me at the Plymouth Laboratory of the Marine Biological Association, it was considered desirable, in view of the genetic interest of this form and of the fact that detailed results will not be published for some months, to summarise briefly the essential conclusions. These are: (1) The chromosomes of Gammarus chevreuxi are small, ovoid and minutely heteromorphic, and have a diploid number in the male of twenty-six, this number being arrived at by the study of a large number of spermatogonia, and also of spermatocytes and synapsis stages.
