Seite 20 - ... amoeboid motion even if they are not ciliated. The writer is not aware that attention has before been called to this mode of motion in sperm cells. The vibration of the cilia in vigorous spermatozoids is exceedingly rapid and difficult to study. Judging from observation made on certain spermatozoids just starting motion and others which had nearly exhausted their energy, there would seem to be a rhythmic contraction of the cilia which passes quickly from one end of the band to the other. A tremulous...
