## Abstract The nerve elements described by light microscopy for the hydrozoan planula have not previously been identified ultrastructurally. This electron microscopic study confirms the presence of two distinct nerve cell types in the planula of the hydroid __Pennaria tiarella__. Type I nerve cell

β¦ Synopsis
The interstitial cells of Pennaria tiarella differentiate exclusively froin the central endodcrm of the planula. Shortly after thcir appearance, most of the interstitial cells become cnidoblasts. Subsequently, as the larva transforms into a polyp, both cnidoblasts and interstitial cells migrate from the endoderm, through endoblast and mesoglea, into the ectoderm. It is suggested that some interstitial cells remain in the endoderm and differentiate into the gland and mucous cells of the polyp gastroderm.

The role in food capture of the nematocysts on the mform and capitate tentacles of Pennaria tiarella is discussed. The feeding response of Pennaria tiarella to Artemia extracts consists of cone bending and mouth opening. A similar feeding response has been demonstrated to be induced by proline at co
Moderate dilutions of sea water have been shown to increase the rate of regeneration in certain marine invertebrates (Loeb, '92 ; Snyder, '05 ; Goldfarb, '07, '14 ; Child, '07 ; Peebles, '08, and Lloyd, '14). Sayles ( '28) found that dilution of the body fluids was an important factor in regenerativ
## Abstract Spermatozoa of the hydroid __Pennaria tiarella__ were examined with the electron microscope. The anterior region is characterized by the presence of 30β40 membraneβbounded vesicles which lie anterior to the nucleus. These vesicles are apparently derived from the Golgi apparatus. The nu
