N.B. — Capt. James has found that tertian, quartan and malig- 

 nant tertian parasites will develop in this species artificially, but 

 says it has not yet been found naturally infected {v. James, Sci. 

 Mem. Ind., new. ser.. No. 2, p. 39). 



Major Adie has found the sporozoits in wild fuliginosus (Ind. 

 Med. Gaz., xxxviii, July 7, 1903). 



Theobald (Monog., iv, 99) notes a variety from Chingelput 

 (S. India). 



Miss Ivudlow says, "Questioned as a host in India; has a 

 moderate distribution taken infrequently in small numbers in the 

 Philippines, and its connection with malaria is not indicated." 



This species appears to have several varieties, a form occur- 

 ring in the Punjab all the winter (Adie, Ind. Med. Gaz., xxxviii, 

 July 7, 1903 and Jan. 4, 1905) ; this variety flourishing from the 

 middle of November till the end of April, whereas in that part of 

 India, the typical form flourishes from the middle of March to 

 the beginning of June. 



Theobald's variety pallida has been considered a good species 

 by Giles, but the former author states that it is not so (Monog., 

 iv. 100).
