Abstract
A USEFUL technique has been developed for obtaining moderately large samples of wool roots for histochemical examination. It is hoped that this technique will assist in elucidating the mode of formation of the wool fibre and also facilitate investigations already in progress in this laboratory, which are concerned with developing methods for removal of wool from sheepskins.
