Abstract
Summary The presence of uni-, bi- and multipolar neurons beneath the hair cell epithelium of the Octopus gravity receptor system has been demonstrated by iontophoretic cobalt staining. Counts give an average number of 1,940 neurons per macula. Whether the hair cells are primary of secondary sensory cells is discussed.Keywords
