The object of this paper is to awaken an interest in the works of Parat and his collaborators on the Golgi apparatus among the Englisspeaking cytologists and such others who either owing to paucity of literature or ignorance of continental languages are precluded from following the discusion that has been going on for the last 3 years as regards the homology of the Golgi apparatus and Vacuom [...] According to the views held by the majority of Cytolgists the Golgi apparatus exists in cells in the form of filaments or a close network in the early stages and generally juxta-nuclear in position. [...] Parat and Bergeot (74) however claim that in the epithelial cells of the intestine and the stomach of Amphibians the Golgi apparatus cannot be considered to be of the nature of lipoids. [...] The examination of cytoplasmic inclusions in the oogenesis of a number of animals leads me to conclude : (1) That the Golgi bodies are granular and acquire a juxta-nuclear position in the early stages of development of the egg.
