THE TELOSPORASHDA AND THE COCCIDLA PROPER 



tory foci in the liver and lungs of infected 

 English sparrows. Manwell (1941) stated 

 that infections seemed to spread rapidly 

 among adult English sparrows from New 

 York after they had been captured and 

 kept in relatively close quarters in the 

 laboratory. He found that the disease was 

 not infrequently fatal, but that chronic 

 cases also occurred. The liver and spleen 

 were greatly enlarged and very dark in one 

 bird which he necropsied, but there were 

 no hematin granules in either organ. 

 D. D. Myers (unpublished) also observed 

 deaths from this infection in captured 

 English sparrows in Illinois. 



Lankesterella serini Lainson, 1959 

 was discovered in canaries when Lainson 

 wanted to infect them with L. adici from 

 the English sparrow and found that they 

 already had an infection of their own. It 

 apparently resembles L. acUci. Nothing 

 is known about its pathogenicity. Perhaps 

 the "x-bodies" or "Einschliisse" which 

 occur in the macrophages of the lungs, 

 liver and spleen of canaries (Manwell 

 eL al. , 1945) belong to this species.
