Abstract
COMPARATIVE histological examinations of the greater omentum have shown that the characteristic ‘milk spots’ of the human omentum are an equally constant and striking feature of this membrane in the pig but appear to be absent in dog and cat. These structures have been examined in whole spread preparations of human and pig material stained with Weigert's hæmatoxylin, Mallory and toluidine blue for cytological detail and by the Falgog method1 for the vascular pattern.
