Notes
An ultrastructural anaylsis of the gametogenetic phases in Branchiura sowerbyi, a tubificid oligochaete, has been accomplished. These phases mostly conform to the usual pattern for the family, however, some interesting peculiarities are pointed out. The regression of sexual apparatus after reproductive period and its regeneration up to a new period of sexual maturity, has been followed throughout the year.
