In order to study process of spermiogenesis of the Korean manchurian field mouse, Apodemus spesiosus peninsulae, the testis obtained from sexually matured male reproductive organs, were examined with electron microscopy, and the following results were obtained based on the characters of cell differentiation. 1. According to the features of cell structure, spermiogenesis of the Apodemus spesiosus peninsulae was five phases: Golgi, cap, acrosome, maturation and spermiation phase. They were further subdivided into two steps of early and late phases respectively. Hence, the spermiogenesis consists of ten steps. 2. In the changes of the chromatin, the chromatin granules began to be condenced in the cap phase and regularizated at maturation phases, and a perfect nucleus of sperm was formed at the spermiation phases. 3. The formative period of sperm tail began to be develop in the early Golgi phase and completed at the spermiation phases 4. The outer dence fibers of middle piece were arranged in a horseshoe fashion. Nos. 1, 5, 6 and 9 of the outer dense fibers were larger than the others. The structure of axoneme in the middle piece was 9+2, and the axonemal complex consists of A and B microtubules, dynein arms and radial links.
