title: The histology and carbohydrate histochemistry of the lingual glands in vervet monkeys.
abstract: The lingual salivary glands of the vervet monkey were examined for the first time to establish their histological appearance and mucosubstance histochemistry. Sero-mucous and mucous glands are present. The mucin content of the serous glands is a neutral mucin, that of the mucus glands a carboxylated or sulphated sialomucin. The reason for the variation between cells was not established. Anterior lingual glands were not detected in any of the tongues examined.
