Abstract
Peculiar undulating cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum have been observed in the spermatids of the opisthobranch mollusc Spurilla neapolitana. Analysis of sections suggests that these arrays of ER might be a multilamellar structure consisting of paired cytomembranes molded into parallel, conical elevations with hexagonal bases. The structure is associated most frequently with the Golgi complex of the spermatid but its function is unknown. Other reports of similar arrays of ER in both plant and animal cells are discussed and compared with those of Spurilla spermatids.
