IN Bielschowsky's method of staining axis cylinders, etc., in frozen sections connective-tissue fibres are occasionally stained an intense black. A sharp stain for these fibres can be obtained if the sections are treated by Pal's decolorising method for Weigert's myelin stain before the sections are put in the preliminary bath of silver nitrate. The method works best with thin sections cut on the freezing micro-tome. Embedding in gelatin, paraffin, or celloidin is not a contraindication. Nuclei, axis cylinders, neurofibrils, etc., are all left absolutely unstained.The method is too long for ordinary routine work, but should be valuable when more permanent preparations are wanted than those stained with the aniline dyes. The smallest fibrils are stained an intense black, and stand out well in sections counterstained with alum carmine followed by picric acid. Hæmatoxylin and eosin can be used as counterstains, but the contrast is not so good. The procedure should be as follows:-Very thin sections are treated with 25 per cent. pot. permanganate for five minutes or longer, washed and placed in Pal's decoloriser until quite white. They are then thoroughly washed in several changes of distilled water overnight, and finally stained as in Da Fano's modification of Bielschowsky's method (1). It is best to leave the sections forty to sixty minutes in the ammoniated silver bath, instead of twenty minutes as described for axis cylinders, etc. The longer the sections are left in the pot. permanganate bath the less sharp will be the subsequent nuclear counterstain. After toning and fixing, the sections
