Abstract
PROF. VEJDOVSKÝ writes in his criticism of my review, “The mitotic bodies of the prespermatids, not in the shape of ‘idiosomes,’ but as pedunculated bodies, transform into Golgi bodies and are soon ejected from the nuclear wall into the cytoplasm, where they disappear.” There is no transformation of any substance into Golgi bodies. The latter are there in the fœtal gonad, and can be, and have been, traced right through spermatogenesis until they are sloughed off. Prof. Vejdovský is recommended to try the Kolatchev or Da Fano methods, or the neutral red method on fresh cells.
