478 SUMMARY OF CURRENT RESEARCHES RELATING TO 



New Haemogregarine in Man.* — Armand Krempf describes, from 

 the blood of the hypertrophied spleen of a young Chinaman from Tien- 

 Tsen, a new parasite which he names Hsemogregarina hominis sp. n. It 

 is represented in the blood of the spleen by vermicular and rod-like 

 sporonts, sometimes in the red blood-corpuscles, sometimes free. The 

 infected corpuscle swells up and shows excentrically a relatively large 

 capsule (5 /x by 10 ^) containing a vermicular sporont bent upon itself. 

 This sporont divides into two of unequal size. No young forms nor 

 schizogonic forms were seen. The case is at present unique.
