Abstract
BUNDLES of secondary follicles have been shown in the Karakul1, Herdwick2, Cheviot2, Merino3 and several other breeds4 of sheep, and the formation of these bundles by the branching of follicles during their development has been demonstrated in the Karakul1 and the Merino3. Branched primary (P) follicles have been described in the Merino and the Corriedale by Lyne5, who also discussed his findings in relation to the fact that secondary/primary (S/P) ratios are normally determined from sections cut at the level of the sebaceous glands. At this level, branching follicles will not always be apparent so that some branching P follicles will be classified as secondary (S) follicles.
