Abstract

Individual skull bones of newly killed young cats were stained with an aqueous solution of 0.5% silver nitrate. These bones became blackened grossly and more radiodense than adjacent unstained skull bones. It was possible to correlate the gross and radiographic appearance of selected bones stained with silver nitrate. This was a useful teaching aid.
