Memoirs: On the Ciliary Mechanisms and Interrelationship of Lamellibranchs

Part VI: The Pattern of the Lateral Ciliated Cells of the Gill Filaments of the Lamellibranchia

DAPHNE ATKINS B.Sc.1

1 Marine Biological Laboratory, Plymouth

The pattern of the lateral ciliated cells of the gill filaments has been examined in a number of Lamellibranchs and figures given, In the Protobranchia the lateral ciliated cells, except for a row on the abfrontal side, have no definite shape or arrangement; in the higher Lamellibranchs there is an orderly arrangement of the approximately rhomboidal cells in rows. The arrangement of the cells in any species appears to be constant. In the group possessing micro-latero-frontal cilia the variation in the pattern of the lateral ciliated cells in the various families is in marked contrast with the constancy of the general type of pattern found in the majority of the Eulamellibranchs.
