most virulently attacked, the rabbit was far less sensitive ; while the 

 dog, which died in about a fortnight, showed in its blood the almost 

 constant presence of the trypanosome. Sheep and goats never showed 

 any trypanosomes in the peripheral circulation, nor any symptoms 

 other than attacks of fever and emaciation. Of the goats, one 

 recovered at the end of thirteen months, the other at the end of 

 twelve months.

Two charts are given showing the seasonal incidence of Plasmoditim- 

 falciparum and P. vivax in the Balkans. The high proportion of 

 P. vivax in July is followed by its almost complete disappearance, 

 when the tertian malignant form, P. falciparum, reaches its height 

 in October. The parasite of quartan malaria was found only four 

 times, and then exclusively in men from Algeria.
