The principal aim of the research project reported in this thesis is the description of kinorhynch head processes to provide data for taxonomic and systematic use. Observations are recorded of the morphology and ultrastructural histology of the scalids (head processes) of Kinorhynchus phyllotropis (Brown and Higgins, 1983) - the first kinorhynch from Australia to be described.
