Jaff (Zentr. F. G., 1924,. No. 21) indicates that the division of the development of the corpus luteum into stages according to Rge does not correspond to reality.

The structure and function of the corpus luteum has been studied intensively, yet many of the factors and events in formation, maintenance, function and regression of this endocrine gland remain unclear. Christensen and Gillim reviewed the literature dealing with steroid-secreting cells including lutein cells. They clearly documented the role of smooth endoplasmic reticulum in steroid biosynthesis. The fine structure of the corpus luteum has been described in a variety of animals including rat, mouse, hamster, guinea pig, rabbit, pig, cow, sheep, deer, dog, racoon, mink, badger, lemur, armadillo and man. Recently, Enders reviewed in detail the results obtained on the cytology of corpus luteum granulosa lutein cells of early pregnancy.Novoa has recently attempted to correlate some reproductive phenomena in Camelidae with those of other domestic animals. Since the literature is essentially devoid of information on electron microscopy of the camel corpus luteum and since fresh camel corpus luteum specimens were obtained in excellent condition, a critical study was undertaken to provide definitive information on the structure and function of the corpus luteum during early stages of pregnancy and after parturition in the one-humped camel, Camelus dromedarius.
