The submicroscopic structure of the sensory cells of the membranous labyrinth has been the object of numerous recent studies with the aid of the electron microscope. We must remember the work of Engström and Wersäll^1,2; Engström, Sjöstrand and Wersäll³; Engström and Sjöstrand⁴; Smith^5-7; Smith and Dempsey⁸; Spoendlin^9,10; Engström^11,12; Friedmann^13,14; Iurato and Bertoletti¹⁵; Iurato^16-19 on the sensory cells of Corti's organ and that of Wersäll, Engström and

Hjorth²⁰; Smith^6,21; Wersäll^22-24; Engström and Wersäll²; Friedmann^13,14; Bairati, Jr., and Iurato²⁵; Pietrantoni and Iurato²⁶; Bairati,²⁷ and Engström²⁸ on the vestibular sensory cells.

The results obtained have clarified numerous points left in doubt by previous research done with the light microscope and have revealed new and important data, particularly with regard to our understanding of the functioning mechanism of these receptors.
