Abstract
OOGENESIS studies have revealed that the Golgi bodies may have a variety of shapes ranging from a granule and a vesicle to a typical dictyosome1,2. We have always been faced with the question whether these shapes are fixed or whether one could be derived from the other. Scattered in the literature on spermatogenesis3 and secretory phenomena4,5 we also find batonettes described with double chromophilic rims. If these double-rimmed batonettes have a real existence, what is their relation to the other shapes of the apparatus? From the evidence at our disposal we feel that these types of batonettes could be derived from the vesicular Golgi bodies, the vesicles themselves being derived from granules.
