RIPORT ON DOURINR. 77 



Terai regions, belts of land lying between the foot of the outer 

 Himalayas and the Bareilly district, have exhibited the same 

 organisms. The presence of these pyroplasnoata are not confined 

 to the Bareilly district, but are more or less scattered over % large 

 area of North India, as the following facts show. Shamsher and 

 Kilngarlh respectively brought the organism in their blood from 

 the North Punjab. Three mares railed direct to Kathgodam from 

 Hapur Remount Dep6fc, in May 1903, exhibited the organisms in 

 their circulations a few days after their arrival at Muktesar, 

 Donkeys taken to Muktesar, July 3 1st, 1903, exhibited the 

 p;> r;i sites in the red blood corpuscles shortly after their arrival. 

 Specimens cf blood from brood mares suffering from Surra and 

 guinea-pigs inoculated with blood from the affeoted animals, in the 

 Mamdot State (nearFerozepur), Punjab, all exhibited the organisms 

 in their respective circulations. Bovines from Bareilly, Hamirpur 

 and Bijnor districts, all exhibited pyroplasmata on arrival at the 

 Bareilly Depot, Three camels which arrived from Bikanir, in Nov- 

 ember 1902, were free from the parasites on their arrival iu Bareilly 

 and up to the middle of April 1903, but two succumbed during the 

 rains and the third had contracted the organism by November 

 1 903 during the interval. 



At the present date the following animals in the Bareilly Depot are the 

 subjects of spontaneous or inoculated pyroplasmosis : 



1. Bovines plains and hill animals . . . (S) 



2. Buffaloes plains and hill ., ... (S) 



3. Equines Thorough-bred English, Australians, 



Arabs, country-bred horses, tatoos and donkeys . (S) 



4. Camel From Bikanir (S) 



5. Goats and kids, the latter a few weeks old . . (S) 



6. Sheep from Bareilly district . .' . (S) 



7. Dogs English imported and pariahs . . (S) 



8. Rabbits country-bred . . . . . , (Inoc.) 



9. Gninea-pigs (Inoc.) 



K). Rats (Mus-dec.) (Inoc.) 



11. Cats (S) 



12. Monkeys (S) 



Among animals not possessed by us, the organisms have been found in the 



red corpuscles and plasma of elephants and several kinds of deer. 



The blood of an eighth month foal born dead, mother a hill 

 pony, exhibited all the different forms of the pyroplasma in the
