ight side. With the exception of the first intercostals vein, all intercostal veins drain into the vena hemiazygos. It collects blood from the radicles of the first to the fifth intercostal veins. The hemiazygos empties into the coronary sinus below the opening of the caudal vena cava on the right atrium while the azygos terminate at the cranial vena cava.

Solis, Professor, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of the Philippines Diliman A. B. Diaz, Jr. Instructor, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of the Philippines Diliman A study on the gross anatomy of the external ear of the Philippine carabao with particular emphasis on its angioarchitecture, based on the dissection of the auricular organs and adjacent structures of (12) adult animals of both sexes, is herein presented. The gross features of the bubaline ear generally resemble those of the bovine’s with some exceptions. There appeared no obvious differences with regard to the external characteristics of the carabao’s ear between the sexes or between the left and right ears of the same animal. The vascular supply and drainage of the external ear of the carabao essentially followed the same pattern as that of cattle except for a few minor differences in the course, relations and ramifications of the auricular vessels, and the formation of extensive vascular networks and plexuses along the borders, apex and ridges of the pinna.

A-72 MUZZLE PRINTING AS A METHOD FOR IDEN- TIFICATION OF CATTLE AND CARABAOS * J. A. Solis, Professor, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of the Philippines Diliman C. P. Maala, Instructor, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of the Philippines Los Baños A new system for identification of animals, particularly cattle and carabaos, is reported in this paper. It is called 28 ABSTRACT OF RESEARCHES ON THE PHILIPPINE WATER BUFFALO muzzle printing. This method has evolved out of a detailed study in which the anatomical features of the muzzle, or planum nasolabiale, were found to vary greatly from animal to animal. Muzzle prints taken from two hundred cattle and carabaos of both sexes, young and old, were so different from one another that no two prints appeared exactly alike or identical. Muzzle printing as a means of identification is simple, practical and reliable. Its use eliminates the undesirable aspects of such methods as branding with hot irons or chemicals, tattooing, ear tagging and ear notching. Not only in veterinary jurisprudence is the need for an infallible system like muzzle printing to great value, especially in cases where the identity of prized animals and claims to their ownership and involved, but also in sound livestock management and practice where the individual animals of a valuable herd have to be properly identified for obvious reasons.

A-73 SCANNING ELECTRON, MICROSCOPIC CHARAC- TERIZATION OF HAIR CUTICLES AND MEDULLARY PATTERN OF SOME ESPECIALIZED HAIRS OF THE PHILIPPINE CARABAO (Bubalus bubalis Linneus)* R. M. Tamayo, Student Especialized hairs and long hairs of thirty adult male and female Philippine carabao were examined for surface morphology and medullary patterns by means of scanning electron microscope and light microscope, respectively. Site of collection includes the eyelids, above the eyelids, muzzle, concave surface of the external ear and the switch of the tail. The study showed that hairs from the ears, eyelids and tail of both sexes exhibited an imbricate crenate cuticular pattern while hairs from the muzzle and the region above the upper eyelid did not exhibit any scales. Difference observed between sexes was the more stacked cuticular scales in the male. The scales on the hair of the external ear and eyelid of female and tail of male were transversely oriented, scales of hair from ears of male and tail of female were irregularly oriented and the hairs from the upper eyelids of male were obliquely oriented. The dorsal margin of all the scales observed was serrated. Hairs from the concave surface of the external ears showed absent, fragmented and continuous medullary pattern. Highly pigmented hairs from the ears of male animals showed fragment to absent medulla. In unpigmented hairs, continuous medulla was
observed. Continuous medullary pattern was exhibited both in pigmented and unpigmented ear hair of the female. Long tail hairs of male animals showed narrow continuous pattern and a narrow segmented pattern in the eyelid. Compound elongate pattern was seen on the hairs of the muzzle of male animal. No medulla was observed in other regions especially in the female. As shown in this study, the hairs from different regions examined had imbricate crenate cuticular pattern, however, more than one medullary patterns were observed in a given body region. The hairs of the male and female cannot be differentiated from one another because of the similarity in their morphology. The present study showed that scanning electron microscopic characterization of the hair cuticles, and light microscopic description of medullary patterns could be used in species identification. However, their application becomes limited in cases of absence cuticles due to traumatic injuries, and also when there is a thick and highly pigmented cortex. In such cases, cuticular and medullary findings should be supplemented with gross observations (size of hair, color of hair and cross section of medulla) and if available, DNA analysis.

A-74 COMPARATIVE GROSS ANATOMY, HISTOLOGY AND HISTOCHEMISTRY OF THE TRACHEA OF THE PHILIPPINE WATER BUFFALO (Bubalus bubalis) AND CATTLE (Bos taurus)* H. H. Telada, Student The gross anatomy, histology and some histochemistical properties of the bubaline and bovine trachea were studied. The trachea of the Philippine water buffalo (53.41 ± 4.73 cm) was significantly longer than that of the cattle (47.63 ± 4.93 cm) (P
