Summary

The influence of various methods of fixation on the preputial gland of the rat was investigated. In addition to the lipids, the cells contain numerous granules which are dissolved by alcoholic and certain acid fixatives. In future investigation concerning either the histochemistry of the gland or the effect on the gland of various experimental conditions, its peculiar ability to secrete two different substances must be considered. In any event the preputial gland of the rat is more than a simple sebaceous gland.
