A peculiar cell type is described from the sensory vesicle of the brain of the appendicularian tunicate Oikopleura dioica. The cells carry globular, modified cilia and resemble in several other respects the coronet cells of Saccus vasculosus in many fishes. This finding, together with earlier reports of similar cells in the sensory vesicle of ascidian tadpoles, makes it probable that a primitive form of coronet cells is a regular constituent of the tunicate brain cavity. The existence of coronet cells in the tunicate line of evolution is of interest from a phylogenetical as well as functional point of view. The author proposes that the tunicate sensory vesicle corresponds to part of the craniate third ventricle and that the tunicate coronet cells are involved in the regulation of the ventricle fluid composition.
