Among the 30 cases of normal adult swine ovaries, 20 cases (66.6%) were presented as positive. 2. The hemosiderin pigment was detected in corpus albicans, connective tissue of corpus luteum, theca externa of follicles and interstitial tissue of ovary in swine. 3. The morphological characteristics of the hemosiderin pigment of swine ovaries were fine and coarse granules or amorphous and homogenous pigment. 4. In 30 cases of bovine ovaries, the hemosiderin pigment was not detected.
