Abstract

Evidence for the presence of silica in the costae of Stephanoeca diplocostata Ellis has been provided by a combination of light and electron microscopy. The solubility of costae in hydrofluoric acid has been demonstrated. The presence of silicon in the costae has been strongly confirmed by means of the X-ray analytical electron microscope (EMMA) but tests for a crystalline substructure by means of electron diffraction were negative; it is concluded that silicon is present in a crystallographically amorphous form. Preliminary observations on other biological aspects of the organism include the presence of a sac-like membrane between the lorica and protoplast, the presence of immature costal strips within the cytoplasm and the nature of ingested food. The phyletic position of the group is briefly discussed with special reference to mitochondrial substructure.
