Abstract
Distribution of alkaline and acid phosphatases was studied in the liver of piscean, amphibian, reptilian, avian and mammalian species by means of histochemical methods. In the liver of fish no histochemically demonstrable alkaline phosphatase was observed. Liver of non-hibernating toad and lizard was found to contain the highest amount of this enzyme while the liver of mrigal fih, pigeon and rat contain a smaller amount of it. The highest amount of acid phosphatase was present in the liver of rat with a minimum amount in the liver of non-hibernating toad. A smaller amount of the enzyme was also observed in the liver of pigeon. Liver of mrigal fish was found to contain a smaller amount of acid phosphatase than lata fish.
