Abstract
The egg-capsules of the marine Turbellaria Proseriata are deposited in 4 different modes: No attachment to the substratum in calm biotops, sticking to solid objects by broad bases in muddy biotops, and attachment to grains by an elastic stalk in agitated beach sand. In the last case additional protective coats may surround the stalked egg-capsules.
