Abstract
WITH the aid of some new methods1–3 the histochemical localization of oxidase activity was investigated in the mitochondria of the heart in some lower vertebrates, namely, the viviparous cyprinodonts, Lebistes reticulatus, Xiphophorus helleri and Xiphophorus maculatus, the carp, Cyprinus carpio, the frog, Rana temporaria, the toad, Bufo calamita and the lizard, Lacerta agilis.
