Summary Intramitochondrial crystals are found in normal Hydra as well as in animals undergoing various conditions (budding, regenerating, eserinetreated, and sexual). They appear in all regions of the animal, but seem to be more prevalent at or near the extremities: hypostome, tentacles and basal disk. They are found in all of the seven basic cell types: interstitial, cnidocyte, nerve, epithelio-muscular, gland, mucous and digestive cells. The chemical nature of the intramitochondrial crystals is unknown and their significance remains speculative.
