Abstract
THE often quoted standard work on the argentaffin cell by Jacobson in 19391 is doubtless the source cited by many authors on the distribution of argentaffin cells. From it we quote, “In man and all animals investigated, there appears to be a steady decrease in the number of (argentaffin) cells towards the caudal end of the intestine. The rectum of cattle seems to be an exception to this rule”.
