Abstract
A histochemical study has been made of lipids in the corpora atretica of amphibian ( Bufo stomaticus) ovary. They show lipid masses consisting of neutral fats (triglycerides). Cholesterol or cholesterol esters, which store abundantly in the regressing corpora lutea of mammals and frog, do not develop at any stage of development and regression of corpora atretica. The absence of hormone precursors in them suggests that they do not form steroids. The corpora atretica are merely large eggs in the process of resorption.
