The brain of six adult surti buffaloes was collected for the study of hippocampus. Harris’ Haematoxylin and Eosin (H & E) Staining method was used for general microscopic structure of the hippocampus. Aldehyde-Thionin-PAS method was utilized for Nissl’s substance and mucopolysaccharides. Vogt’s method was used for nerve cells, Sevier-Munger method for neural tissues and the micrometry of hippocampus was performed by various layers of cornu ammonis and dentate gyrus. The mean value of thickness of different layers of cornu ammonis was measure by micrometry. Microscopic study revealed thatthe hippocampus was consist of six layers, viz.; alveus, stratum oriens, stratum pyramidale, stratum radiatum, stratum lacunosum and stratum moleculare. The hippocampus commissure and the dentate gyrus showed PAS positive reaction. Furthermore, these structures also showed a positive reaction with silver nitrate staining (Sevier-Munger staining). The present study revealed that almost all the fibres were myelinated fibers.
