Abstract
The authors have studied the otolith organization in the macula utriculi of the guinea pig. The electronic diffraction patterns obtained from the otolithic membrane and the embedding material are identical, and the same as the amorphous substances. In the otoliths we have found ring diagrams that are neater in the dark zones than in the clear ones. This finding makes us suspect a possible existence of crystalline units in the otoliths that are randomly oriented.
