Extract

The structure of the tentacular crown in a multitentaculate pogonophoran, Siphonobrachia ilyophora Nielsen, has been examined by light and electron microscopy. The fine structural organization of the tentacles is described and discussed in relation to the suggested functions for the tentacles in Pogonophora.
