The presence of the scent glands were examined macroscopically and histologically in the Japanese vole, Microtus montebelli and the Hungarian vole, Microtus arvalis. A pair of scent glands were observed on the buttocks of the Japanese vole as the oval nodules with yellowish colored skin. The size of the glands was larger in males than in females. Histologically, the glands were composed of the aggregation of many acini of sebaceous glands. The epidermis above the scent glands were thicker than that in the other areas. In the Hungarian vole, no such gland could be detected with macroscopical and histological examinations.
对日本田鼠（Microtus montebelli）和匈牙利田鼠（Microtus arvalis）的气味腺进行了宏观和组织学检查。在日本田鼠的臀部观察到一对气味腺，为椭圆形结节，皮肤呈淡黄色。雄性的腺体比雌性的大。组织学上，这些腺体由许多皮脂腺腺泡聚集而成。气味腺上方的表皮比其他区域的表皮厚。在匈牙利田鼠中，通过宏观和组织学检查未发现此类腺体。
