each case triangular in surface view, witli the apex tapering 

 towards the centre of the parasite and surrounded by loose 

 chromatin in one case. The principal nucleus of the more 

 pyriform parasite (text-fig. 10) was rather dumb-bell-shaped, 

 suggesting division, but the general facies of this parasite did 

 not lend support to this view. In text-fig. 24, where each 

 parasite is seen to be somewhat pointed at the ends, there 

 were well-marked masses of loose chromatin at one end. In

text-fig. 23 two pale-staining parasites are drawn, with peri- 

 pheral, flattened chromatin. One of tliem showed a pointed 

 process of cytoplasm, rarely seen in stained preparations 

 apart from spleen-blood. In text-fig. 22 a rather unusual 

 difference in size between the individuals is shown, the larger 

 one being bean-shaped. Both exhibited nuclear dimorphism.

 the chromatin masses was found. 'J\^xt-fig. 25 represents a
