The localization of ovalbumin in the chick oviduct was investigated by means of fluorescent antibody technique. The infundibulum, oviductus proprius and isthmus had serous gland which secrets egg-albumin in the spawning-time. Since the oviductus proprius was the longest of three parts of the oviduct, and its serous gland was most well developed, specific fluorescence in the serous gland was found most frequently in this part. On the contrary, even in the spawning-time, the other two parts showed little specific fluorescence. The volume of the secretion of egg-albumin changed according to the descending stage of the egg. Namely, the secretion of egg-albumin increased as eggs descended, and then, secretion of serous gland ceases gradually after the eggs passed down. Besides the decrease of the height of each mucous epithelial cell, specific fluorescence was not found in every region of the three parts of the chick oviduct, during the resting time of ovulation.
