Methods giving reproducible and consistent results in test tissues are either metal substitution tests or dye-lake reactions. Satis- factory metal substitution can be achieved with silver, cobalt, ferric and ferrous iron, lead, and copper salts. Anthraquinone dyes which produce good lake reactions with calcium deposits in histological sections are: sodium alizarin sulfonate, 1:2:4-trihydroxyanthraquinone, purpurin-3-carboxylic acid, 1:2:5:8-tetrahydroxyanthraqulnone, and calcium red (i.e., kernechtrot). Haematoxylin can produce a valid lake reaction with calcium, under special circumstances. In animals, many calcium deposits can be very well localized with the reagent sodium rhodizonate, apparently if the deposits are contaminated with barium or strontium. Gallamine blue, an oxazin dyestuff which has been recommended for calcium staining, has no certain histochemical validity as a calcium reagent. To establish full histochemical validity for a site of localization of calcium in a tissue it is necessary to employ all the successful methods.
