Oocysts spherical ; residual body absent. Sporocysts 

 ovoid ; sporocystal residue absent. 



Dimensions. — Oocysts Il/x in diameter ; sporocysts 4-2 /x, by

135. Eimeria (?) sp. 



Certain Coccids, Ross, 1898, p. 173 ; 1906, pp. 102, 104. 



Well-defined oval organisms, 8ju, by 4/i in size, were found 

 lying by the side of the nucleus within the stomach-cells of 

 a few individuals of Culex sp. Each possessed a vacuole (?) 

 surrounded by a faint granulation. According to Ross they 

 probably belonged to the Coccidiidse, but were never seen again 

 by him. 



Habitat. — Stomach-cells of Culex sp, : Madras, Ootacamund. 



Genus WENYONELLA Hoare, 1933. 



Wenyonella, Hoare, 1933, pp. 369-74; Ray, 1935, pp. 112-13; 

 1937, pp. 117-20. 



Oocysts develop four sporocysts, each containing four 

 sporozoites. 



Eemarks. — Hoare (1933) founded this genus for a species 

 from the small intestine of a snake in Uganda. Ray (1935, 

 1937) has described a new species from a squirrel.

Schizonts more irregular in shape than the sexual forms, 

 and lacking a clear outhne. Merozoites in groups of six 

 to eight, escaping from a host-cell into the lum.en of the 

 intestine. Two types of merozoites : one with hyahne cyto- 

 plasm and a dark- staining granule in the neighbourhood of 

 the nucleus ; the other slightly longer, more opaque when 

 stained, and showing numerous dark granules scattered
