THE mast-cell reaction of the mouse skin, painted with tar or carcinogenic hydrocarbons, has been known for a long time1. According to several authors, these cells show a golden-brown fluorescence when examined under the microscope in ultra-violet light2, though other investigations give some evidence to the contrary3.
