An account of the nuclear behaviour in the initiation of the dikaryon inClaviceps microcephala (Wallr.)Tul. inciting the ergot of bajri in India is given. The pattern follows closely the mode of dikaryotization reported byKillian (1919) forClaviceps purpurea (Fr.)Tul., characterised by functional antheridium, absence of trichogyne, the Claussentype of nuclear fusion and hook-formation.
