Abstract
WE do not see anything in the Lepisma light microscope photomicrographs of Dr. Nath and his collaborators which either lead us to consider that his (C) in Fig. 2 is a centriole and not an acrosome, and his (A) is not a centriole plus the large insect centriole adjunct, or which persuades us that these two thysanurans could possess spermatozoa fundamentally different.
