The Accumulation of Carotenoids in the Golgi Apparatus of Neurones of Helix, Planorbis, and Limnaea

A. J. CAIN 1

1 Department of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy, Oxford

Repetition of some of Thomas's (1948) work on Helix neurones and its extension to neurones of Planorbis and Limnaea confirms his conclusions that the batonnettes shown by standard Golgi methods are mitochondria, and the Golgi apparatus is represented by spheroid complexes, scattered throughout the cell but tending to be concentrated in the axon hillock.

The spheroid complexes appear to consist of an externum, continuous or not, which contains phospholipine and possibly other lipoids, and an internum in which carotenoids are accumulated. This accumulation is greater in Limnaea and Planorbis than in Helix.
