Notes

Ribbon-like longitudinal fibers of the body wall of enchytraeids and lumbriculids are grouped in functional units. The organization of subsarcolemmal cisternae, membrane foldings and extracellular spaces between fibers is described. The data seem to indicate that the spaces between fibers within each functional unit are interpretable as T-tubules of a cross-striated fiber.
