Abstract

The problem involved in this experiment was the application of the Feulgen Reaction to a number of flatworms and small ascarid worms, in an attempt to ascertain whether or not a practical staining technique, (showing clear differentiation of nuclear material, etc., from the surrounding cuticle and cytoplasm) -- may be developed, by staining and mounting them in toto. The Feulgen Reaction was used in this experiment, not as a specific indicator for thymonucleic acid, but rather as a cytological stain. Some attention will be focused upon the reaction's specificity, however, in the following discussion of the development of the reaction itself.
