Description Notes

Printed line diagrams, black and white, some slight shading.
Diagrams are labelled 1 to 3, and parts are labelled with letters, but there is no key.
Each diagram is tall and thin, and shows cells. The point of interest appears to be in the centre of each diagram, where two cells merge into one with two nuclei, and then into a single cell. The rest of the diagram doesn’t change greatly from left to right. The sequence is continued from accession number 4641 and is continued in 4673.
Ref number bottom right.
Slightly frayed round edges.
