A 'POSTERIOR RING' IN THE SPERMATOZOA OF SPECIES OF MURIDAE

Summary.: An examination of surface replicas of spermatozoa from five Muridae species has confirmed the existence of a 'posterior ring' encircling the nucleus. The post-acrosomal surface is subdivided by this ring into two areas, the post-nuclear cap and a smaller more distal region which, in these preparations, has a characteristic topography.
