title: Some observations on the Rohon-Beard cell perikaryon.
abstract: During the hatching period, the Rohon-Beard cells of Salmo gairdneri showed definite structural maturity of their perikarya, which is in contrast to the amphibian species investigated, where neuronal maturation of the Rohon-Beard cells is finished only in later -- posthatching -- developmental stages.
