Abstract
We have attempted as well from the observed movements of A. conchicola's suckers, as from a reconstruction of the musculature of the haptor, to explain the working of the haptor. We also studied the ultrastructure of the marginal organs, composed of muscle-fibres of which the arrangement and working have been discussed. The ultrastructure of all cells situated within the haptor have been discussed. A theory about the function of the gland cells is proposed. The presence of sense cells in the tegument of the haptor is mentioned.
