title: Fine structure of the tissue lining the cochlear perilymphatic space against the bony labyrinthine capsule.
abstract: The perilymphatic tissue covering the bony labyrinthine capsule was studied in chinchillas by help of the thin-section and the freeze-fracture methods. Among the extremely flat and extended cells there were demonstrated fasciae occludentes and maculae communicantes. It is supposed that the perilymphatic tissue is arachnoidal tissue, too.
