Summary Histological sections were studied from 4 sites of the rumen of 22 buffaloes, aged from 1 day to over 18 years of age. The sections were stained with Masson's trichrome stain. A definite layer of smooth muscle cells, representing the lamina muscularis mucosae separating the propria from the submucosa and extending into the ruminai papillae, was observed in buffaloes over 1.5 years of age. In animals over 10 years, the smooth muscle cells were very thin and elongated.
