| Abstract: | Summary The duodenum of 16-day Black Australorp chick embryos, and the duodenum, ileum, large intestine and caeca of 18-day embryos and of chicks within 30 h of hatching, have been studied by electron microscopy. Cells were found with secretory granules resembling those in mammalian EC, S, A-like, EG and D cells (terminology of Solcia et al., 1973), and were on this basis tentatively identified accordingly. The distribution and frequency of the chick cells in different parts of the tract correspond well to the situation in mammals.Supported by grants from the Senate Research Committee of the University of the Witwatersrand, JohannesburgThe author gratefully acknowledges the help of Professors E.
