Extract

1. Histochemical tests have been applied to the socalled sweat glands and their secretions of Zebu and Ayrshire cattle, the former to only a limited extent.

2. For skin specimens of Ayrshire cattle positive reactions were obtained for ribonucleoprotein, arginine and alkaline phosphatase. Negative reactions were obtained for desoxyribonucleoprotein and acid glycerophosphatase.

3. Neither the sweat glands of Ayrshire cattle nor those of Zebu cattle gave positive reactions for fats, lipids or cholesterol and its esters, although these were all present in the sebaceous glands of both breeds. Detectable amounts of phospholipid were not found in the sweat glands of the Ayrshire cattle and their secretions.

4. The chemical composition of the secretion of bovine sweat glands differs markedly from that of human eccrine or apocrine sweat glands in not containing detectable amounts of glycogen, lipids and associated compounds or iron.
