A Histochemical Investigation of the Pituitary Glands of some Teleost Fish

Some histochemical observations on the pituitaries of three marine and three fresh-water teleost fish have been made. It has been shown that cells of this gland, which are stained identically in different species by Azan, do not always give identical histochemical reactions, and that in the same species cells which after histological staining have similar tinctorial affinities may be differentiated histochemically. These observations are discussed with regard to the function of the gland.
