Abstract
KERATINIZATION of the vaginal epithelium of the mouse occurs during the œstrous cycle. In view of the regular periodicity of this process, it was thought profitable to examine some of its associated histo-chemical characteristics. The occurrence of —SH and —SS groups in the œstrous vaginal epithelium of the rat has been previously noted1. No record of the variations in the distribution of these groups during the normal œstrous cycle appears to exist.
