I have been known to make the remark that Bismark Brown makes 
no contribution to Papanicolaou  staining and ascribe it to Paul 
Marshall.
Tony Henwood has stimulated me to find the reference.
Here it is:

Studies on Papanicolaou Staining I. Anal Quant Cytol J 1979;1:160-
and the same journal; 169-

The remarks are made in the second of these, and to quote:

"Bismark Brown Y was not bound to cervical cells, which confirms 
the subjective findings of previous suthors, and so it should be 
omitted"
