The present study has been taken as the part of the project to review the histogenesis of thyroid gland in human fetuses of Indian origin. So far the material available in the literature is not from India. Fetuses of gestational age ranged from 11 weeks to 40 weeks have been obtained from local hospitals. All the fetuses have been subjected to the protocol of dissection, processing __ampersandsign staining procedures already in existence. The H__ampersandsignE stained slides were studied under light microscopy.
