Cover Legend

The cover picture illustrates that in the tip of the monopodially growing hydrozoon Dynamena pumila, chitin is deposited almost exclusively where the tissue contacts the outer skeleton (staining with Calcofluor White M2R). For more details, see article by Berking et al. in the present issue.
