Since 1882, when Prof. Ray Lankester described the parasite of 

 the frog's blood, Lankesterella [Drepanidium) ranarum [6], first seen by 

 him some eleven years before, interest in the Haemosporidia has greatly 

 increased, especially since the elucidation of the life-history of the 

 human malaria parasite a few years ago. Researches, however, are still 

 needed on these parasites in the cold-blooded Vertebrata. 



Recently, while working at the crested newt, Triton cristatus [Molge 

 cristata]^ minute bodies in the red blood corpuscles were noticed, which 

 seemed distinctly worthy of further investigation. They appeared to be 

 Haemosporidia. Accordingly, I have prepared fresh blood-films from 

 some twenty adult newts, both male and female, and stained them in 

 various ways, more especially by the Romanowski method, or with 

 D elafi e Id's haematoxylin. I have also used methylene blue in aqueous
