Abstract
Synopsis The so‐called “ taste buds “ of the chicken were examined. It was found that they had one or more pores and were composed of a single cell type. There was a nerve plexus at the base of the bud giving rise to fibres which entered the bud. The cells showed acetyl cholinesterase activity and were found to degenerate following denervation. Thus they closely parallel, in both structure and neural dependency, the taste buds in other vertebrates and it is concluded that they probably are true taste buds.
