Abstract
THE organisms used in this investigation were Ascaris lumbricoides, from the small intestine of the pig, and Moniezia expansa, from the small intestine of the sheep. They were brought to the laboratory in host gut contents contained in vacuum flasks and were fixed within two hours of the time of their removal from the host. The histological distribution of alkaline phosphatase was determined by the method of Gomori1, using sodium glycerophosphate as a substrate.
