The morphological relationship between lingual papillae and underlying connective tissue papillae of mouse was studied because it is conceivable that the differentiation of epithelium may be affected by its connective tissue. Tongues of adult male mice were fixed in formol or Karnovsky's fixative. After removal of the epithelium by long-term hydrochloric acid treatment at room temperature, the surface of the connective tissue papillae was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Connective tissue papillae that were fungiform in shape and which were distributed at the anterior part of the tongue showed barnacle-like protrusion after removal of the epithelium. Their surface was covered by numerous long filaments running vertically and there was a round depression on the top of each fungiform papilla that may be found to correspond to a taste bud when the results of light and electron microscopy are compared. Filiform papillae in a narrow sense were closely distributed in the anterior part of the tongue. They had a tapered tip declining posteriorly. Each filiform connective tissue papilla was conical in shape and had a round depression that slightly declined antero-downward, and a long narrow depression ran along the anterior edge of each connective tissue papilla. Large conical papillae which distributed at the anterior margin of the intermolar prominence had shovel-like connective tissue papillae which had a depression at the posterior surface unlike that of the filiform papillae. Branched papillae distributed in the posterior part of the prominence had a depression at the anterior surface. Under the light microscope, numerous keratohyaline granules were seen to be contained only in the posterior epithelial cell line of the large conical papillae distributed in the anterior margin of the prominence, while these granules were found only in the anterior epithelial cell line of both filiform and branched papillae. It became clear that the axes of each connective tissue papilla of large conical papillae distributed radically around a single midpoint. Connective tissue papillae of vallate papillae had a beehive-like shape and in follicate papillae there were several vertical elliptical gaps, seen when the epithelium was peeled from the connective tissue.
