Within the rostral one centimetre of the Echidna beak, three specialised receptors were found: a mucous sensory gland, a rod-like structure, and an innervated epidermal pit. The mucous sensory gland consists of a dermal mucous gland and a modified epidermal portion. Bulbous nerve terminals, similar to those reported for the Platypus, were found within the modified epidermal portion of the mucous gland. The rod-like structure contains four types of nerve terminals: Merkel cells, Paciniform corpuscles, and a central and a peripheral vesicle chain receptor. Apart from minor differences, the rod-like structure is similar to that previously reported for the Platypus. Preliminary results are presented for a third structure: an innervated epidermal pit. Topographical and ultrastructural analyses are used in the context of functional interpretation.
