328 SUMMARY OF CURRENT RESEARCHES RELATING TO 



Coccidian in Bile-ducts of Agama.* — A. Laveran and A. Pettit 

 give a short account of Coccklium agamse sp. n., from the epithelial cells 

 of the gall-bladder and bile-ducts of Agama colonorum. Very few 

 Coccidians have been recorded from reptiles, and the seat of the infection 

 is peculiar. 



Nuclear Hypertrophy induced by Microsporidia.t — A. Schuberg 

 describes the abundant occurrence of Plistophora longifilis sp. n. in the 

 testis of the barbel, and calls attention to the very striking hypertrophy 

 of the nuclei in the testicular tissue. This may have some significance 

 in connection with the pathological interpretation of tumours.
