1. Histoflasma capsvlatum in macrophage from smear of human lymphatic gland. Note resem- 



blance to Leishmania. 



2. Cryptococcus farcinimosus, the cause of lymphangitis of horses, from smear of lymphatic 



gland. Note resemblance to Leishmania. 



3. Group of large vegetable cells in a blood- film contaminated with intestinal contents of a 



rabbit. They bear some resemblance to haemogregarines.
