Abstract
The rate at which the spermatozoa of a sea-urchin propel themselves can be expressed, with surprising accuracy, in terms of the form and frequency of the bending waves generated by the tail (Gray, 1955; Gray & Hancock, 1955). The object of this paper is to consider how far this conclusion is applicable to other types of flagellated spermatozoa; those of the bull with their relatively larger heads and thicker tails provide a useful basis of comparison and contrast.Keywords
