SUMMARY

A high concentration of alkaline phosphatase occurs in the vessels of the hypothalamus and neurohypophysis of the macaque, and a low concentration in the cytoplasm of neurones of the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei. These neurones contain a high concentration of acid phosphatase, and also both true and pseudo-cholinesterase. The neurohypophysis contains only pseudo-cholinesterase in a predominantly perivascular distribution.
