Some of the fascination which Bonnet so marvellously expressed in his letter to Spallanzani, we surely share to this day; to a great extent it arises from the fact that spermatozoa, unlike other body cells, are endowed with two clearly discernible biological properties (of which at last we begin to know rather more than our illustrious predecessors), namely the capacity to move fast and to fertilize, a remarkable combination of attributes, each inherent in a different constituent structure of the sperm cell.
