In the present paper we propose to deal with a number of 

 parasites found by us in reptilian blood-smears, for the 

 greater number of which, we are indebted to the kindness of 

 Dr. T. L. Bancroft, of Eidsvold, Burnett River, Queensland. 

 Type-slides of those forms which we consider to be new to 

 science, have been deposited in the Australian Museum, 

 Sydney. 



In addition to the parasites described below, we have met 

 with Trypanosomes and Haemogregarines in films taken from 

 a skink-lizard, Lygosoma tceniolatum White, by Dr. Bancroft 

 (Burnett River district: February, 1911). 



Our thanks are due to Dr. T. L. Bancroft and Dr. H. G. 

 Chapman ; for forwarding material ; to Messrs. A. McCul- 

 loch and D. Fry, of the Australian Museum, for identifying 

 specimens for us; and to Mr. W. A. Birmingham, of this 

 Bureau, who has drawn the figures in the accompanying 

 plates from our original camera lucida drawings. 



Trypanosoma chelodina Johnson.

This lijemoflagellate was described by Dr. A. E. Johnson 

 (1907, p. 26), as occurring in the Murray River Tortoise^ 

 Chelodina longicollis. The species usually called the Murray
