Histological observations were made on the kidney of O. latipes and following results were obtained. 1) Entire kidney of this teleost has renal structure and no portion to be called head kidney consisting lymphoid tissue is observed. The renal unit in this kidney is composed, like that of other fresh-water fishes, of glomerulus, neck segment, first and second parts of the proximal convoluted segment, distal convoluted segment and initial collecting tubule. As the distal convoluted segment is demonstrated in this renal unit, this euryhaline fish is a typical fresh-water teleost. 2) Adrenal glands composing of interrenal and chromaffin cells are distributed, being adjacent to the cardinal vein and its branches, are running through the kidney or in contact with it. The author wishes to express his cordial thanks to Dr. Mizuho OGAWA, Tokyo University of Education for the kind advice given to the present study.
