Summary

The present study is a reinvestigation of the peculiar integumental differentiations described for the first time by Kölliker in 1844. These transitory organs of microscopic size are composed of two parts; one arises from the ectoderm and forms a sac adhering to the epidermis and enclosing a bundle of chitinous “setae” that are secreted by the microvilli of a specialized basal cell; the other, arising from the mesoderm, is a muscular apparatus that allows evagination and spreading of the bundle. This functioning was observed in fresh skin preparations of newly-hatched Eledone moschata. The Kölliker organs are present in the young of all ineirrate octopods known so far, except for two species of Octopus (O. briareus, O. maya).
