Moreover, we have no reason for supposing that the division of the chromatin in amitosis is not as meristic, and its subsequent distribution as equal, as is so visibly the case in mitosis.32 It is necessary, therefore, to seek for some other explanation of the elaborate mechanism of mitosis than that which assumes it necessary for the equal distribution of the divided chromatin granules.

Variations in the number of vertebrae and other meristic characters of fishes correlated with the temperature of water during development.

Experimental study of meristic characters in fishes.
