81. Young spermatid, showing spindle-remains at _s_.
82. Spermatid showing a conspicuous chromatin element in nucleus, and spindle-remains (_s_) elongated.
83. Spermatid, showing centrosome (_c_) and divided spindle-remains (_s_ and _a_).
84. Older spermatid, showing centrosome (_c_), axial fiber of tail, and spindle-remains (_s_).
85. Spermatid, showing acrosome material (_a_) migrating to side of nucleus opposite centrosome.
86. Slightly older spermatid.
87. Later stage of spermatid, showing condensed chromatin, elongated centrosome (_c_), acrosome material (_a_), and spindle-remains (_s_).
88-89. Older spermatids, showing formation of acrosome (_a_) and middle piece (_m_).
90-92. More advanced stages.
93. Mature spermatozoon.
