The present study was conducted on 27 female buffalo foetii of different gestational age ranging from 10.0 to 100.0 cm CVRL. The tissues were collected from both the horns and body of uterus and processed for paraffin block preparation. In the initial stage the uterine mucosa was lined by simple columnar epithelium which later on transformed into stratified columnar. At 25.0 cm CVRL the underneath mesenchymal tissue of the epithelium was organized into 2 layers and at 35.0 cm CVRL the inner mesenchymal cell layer was stratified into 3 layers. Uterine caruncles first made their appearance at 35.0 cm CVRL and were more prominent in the posterior part of the uterine horn. In the present study the uterine glands could not be observed till 100.0 cm CVRL. It was also concluded from the study that the development of uterus proceeds caudocranial i.e. from body of uterus to uterine horns.
