EEMERIA. 195 



Oocysts colourless or faintly greenish, almost or quite 

 spherical, without a micropyle, and smaller than those of 

 E. smiihi. Mature cysts contain no oocystal residue, and the 

 sporoblasts, when first formed, are spherical. They soon 

 become ovoid and secrete a sporocyst which has a thick cap 

 at one pole. The sporocysts are completely filled by sporo- 

 zoites and there is no sporocystal residue. 



Dimensions. — Oocysts 12-25 jit in diameter ; sporocysts 9-9- 

 lljuby 5-3-5-7)Li. 



Remarks. — Zublin (1908) was the first to differentiate the 

 larger oocysts found more rarely (now identified as E. smithi) 

 from the smaller ones which are more commonly found, and 

 which measure 12-25 in diameter. Jowett (1911) gave the 

 measurements as 14-4-27-2 yu, by 12-8-20-8ju,. Theobald Smith 

 and Graybill (1918) also described two tjrpes of oocysts, and 

 gave the measurements of the smaller ones as 13- 1-28-7 yn by 

 12- 3-20-5 ja.

Oocysts of an unidentified species of Eimeria were found 

 in the faeces of a cow at Tocklai and a heifer at ShUlong, in 



Assam.
