Extract

The arrangement of the ciliary sensory organs regularly arrayed on the body is re-described, and it is concluded that these are what are visible as bristles in life. On the head and tail region there are, in addition, stout single cilia, which contain multiple internal tubules, and on the head alone, there are presumed sensory cells which contain cilia within invaginations of the cell surface. Small bunches of pointed bristles occur scattered over the body surface; these are entirely distinct from the sensory cilia.
