In the mature testes of the guppy, Poecilia reticulata, some groups of cells, distributed sparsely in the interspace between the peripheral germ cell layer and the hilar duct system, show evident histochemical response for Δ5‐3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β‐HSD). In the testis of newly delivered guppies, somatic cells are present in the testicular hilus as a compact mass without revealing any structural differentiation. In the testis of juvenile fish of the 8mm stage about 7 days after birth, interstitial cells resembling histologically those of adult testes become differentiated from the somatic cell mass and, though only in some specimens, coincidentally begin to display weak but obvious histochemical response for 3β‐HSD. Thereafter the occurrence of enzyme activity becomes increasingly regular in the developing testes, and attains the adult pattern of distribution in testes of all specimens after the 11 13mm stage or 17 ∽ 20 days of age.
