Histochemical determinations were carried out on the anal gland of adult Japanese weasels (Mustela itatsi). The anal gland was composed of three types of glands : a compound tubular gland, a compound tubulo-alveolar gland and an alveolar (sebaceous) gland on the basis of their histological features. Acetylcholin esterase activity was demonstrated at the terminal portion of the compound tubular and compound tubulo-alveolar glands. The fibers of the muscular envelope were mainly of the fast-twitch glycolytic type. The alveolar gland was stained strongly with Oil red O, Sudan IV, Sudan Black B, Victoria blue B and Nile blue. The compound tubular and compound tubulo-alveolar grands were slightly or moderately stained with Sudan Black B, Victoria blue B and Nile blue, but not stained with Oil red O and Sudan IV. The alveolar gland showed very strong glucose-6-phosphate and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity. The compound tubular gland showed very strong succinate, malate and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, and the compound tubulo-alveolar gland showed strong succinate, malate and lactate dehydrogenase activity.
