ABSTRACT
The hair cell orientation of the macula lagenae in eels at three different stages of life was examined with the light microscope. Part of the posterior periphery of all three stages was occupied by a few rows of sensory cells having their kinocilium pointing in a direction opposite to the direction of the adjacent sensory cells. The width of this peripheral belt remained the same at all three stages of life, in spite of a considerable growth of the sensory epithelium, and the belt was always confined to the margin. This indicates an intraepithelial growth of at least part of the neuroepithelium of the lagenar macula of the European eel.
