Abstract
DURING the past few years a great deal of work has been done on the physiology of crustacean limb proprioceptors. The study reported here involved ultrastructural differences between functionally distinct cells in the propodite–dactylopodite (PD) chordotonal organ of Cancer pagurus, and was based on serial transverse sections. Final details will be published elsewhere.
