more numerous in the anterior end of the body, as is usually the case, 

 especially in the cylindrical «]:enera Cepedea and Frotoopalina. The 



nuclei arc spherical and of mod- 

 erate size. 



CEPEDEA MADAGASCARIENSIS [of HYPER- 

 OHUS]. Probably not a distinct subspecies 



(fig. IIC). 



A specimen of this form has 

 been deposited Avith the United 

 States National Museum as Cat. 

 Xo. 16532. 



Host. — Hyperolius marmora his 

 Rapp, one infection, from ITnited 

 States National Museum specimen 

 No. 16053, 32 mm. long, from West 

 Africa; W. H. BroAvn, collector. 



Measurements of a good-sked in- 

 dividual. — Length of body 0.555 

 mm. ; width of body 0.06 mm. ; 

 length of nucleus 0.0058 mm.: 

 width of nucleus 0.0048 mm. ; 

 length of nucleus in mitosis 0.006 

 mm. ; width of nucleus in mitosis 

 0.00375 mm.; diameter of endo- 

 spherule 0.002 mm. 



This form seems identical with 

 Cepedea. madagascamensis from 

 M egalixalus madagascariensis., 

 though its host and geographical 

 locality are quite different. It ap- 

 proaches closely to Cepedea longa 

 in the form of its body.
