✦ Synopsis

The antigenic composition of the sperm surface in Para. centrotus lividus Lain. and Sphaereehinus granularis Lain. was studied using the sperm agglutination test with homologous and heterologous antisera. The results indicated that sperm of both species have at least one antigenic determinant located on their surface and shared by both species. In addition, Paracentrotus sperm bear at least one species specific determinant on their surface. The existence of antigenic determinants common to gametes of both species was demonstrated.

## Abstract In this study we used Triton X‐100 extracted sea urchin spermatozoa to investigate the mechanical behavior of the basic 9+2 axoneme. The dynein motors were disabled by vanadate so that the flagellum is rendered a passive structure. We find that when a proximal portion of the flagellum i
