ERIK DAHL 1, BENGT FALCK 1, CLAES VON MECKLENBURG 1, and HARRY MYHRBERG 1

1 Departments of Zoology and of Histology, University of Lund, Sweden

A new method for the demonstration of certain mono-amines by means of fluorescence microscopy was applied to the tentacles and oral disk of the sea anemones Metridium senile and Tealia felina.

A fluorescent substance was found in the cells and fibres of the tentacular ectodermal nervous system.

This nervous system probably has a double sensory and motor function.
