Abstract
Observations of the sexual reproduction of the hydroid Tubularia have been made over a period of several years in connection with my work on animal sperm chemotaxis prior to fertilization. What follows is a summary of my findings, in an attempt to add this data to the published literature on an organism which has been used almost solely for studies of asexual reproduction (Rose, 1974).
