4. Hg. gerrardi. A leucocytozoon in the poly- 

 nuclear leucocytes of dogs in the* Federated Malay 

 States. It closely resembles, but is probably different 

 from the former as in this case the nucleus has generally 

 an U -shape and is not oval or spherical. 



5. Hg. felis-domestici. In bazaar cats in India. 

 The infection is scanty. It occurs in polynuclear leuco- 

 cytes and differs from Hg. canis in not lying inacytocyst. 



6. Hg. funambuli. A leucocytozoon in the 

 mononuclear leucocytes of the palm squirrel Funam- 

 bulus 'pennantii (with five pale dorsal stripes) of Kathia- 

 war, India. It does not occur in the Madras palm 

 squirrel (F. palmarum).

 endoglobular and free forms. (4) Hg. ratti 



Endoglobular Form. 10 by 5^. It is not contained 

 in a cytocyst. It is broad at one end and narrow at the 

 other, this being bent so as to form ' a tail.' The 

 nucleus, centrally placed, is large, occupying about a 

 third of the volume of the parasite (Fig. 80).
