Abstract
The 5 and 10 mm stages of mouse embryo do not show any histochemical evidence of esterase activity by the technic of Gomori. The distribution of esterase in the 15 and 20 mm stages of the mouse embryo, as demonstrated by the histochemical technic of Gomori, is essentially the same as that in the adult mouse. The only exception is the kidney, which does not give a positive staining reaction in the embryo. The occurrence of esterase activity in the thyroid gland seems to be peculiar to the mouse; the significance of this observation is not understood.
