DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW HAEMOPROTOZOA FROM BIRDS IN N.S.W. 87 



7. Fairly stained, granular. Melanin as mass of grains at 

 one end, 2 grains towards other end, 3 grains in centre. 



8. Fairly stained, granular. Melanin as mass of grains at 

 one end, mass and isolated grain at other, 1 grain and 

 vacuole near centre. 



9. Fairly stained, granular. Melanin as mass of grains at 

 one end, and several grains and vacuole near it, 7 grains 

 towards other end. 



10. Fairly stained, granular. Melanin as 4 large grains 

 and vacuole at one end, 4 large grains at other. 



11. Fairly stained, granular. Melanin as mass or grains 

 at one end, 1 grain in centre. 



12. Fairly stained, granular. Melanin as 3 small masses 

 at one end of nucleus of host cell, 3 grains towards 

 other end of parasite. 



The following interesting forms were met with at various 

 times : — 



13. Very pale. Melanin as mass of granules at one end, 2 



granules at other. 



14. Very pale. Host nucleus shoved to one side. Melanin 

 as mass of granules at one end, 5 large granules beyond 

 centre towards other end. 



15. Fairly stained, granular. Melanin as large mass of 

 pigment towards one end, no pigment but vacuole 

 towards other. 



16. Fairly stained, granular. Melanin as large mass with 

 vacuole at one end, 1 grain opposite centre, 1 grain 

 just beyond other end of host nucleus. 



17. Fairly stained, granular, the two ends of the parasite 

 connected by a band narrower than normal. Melanin 

 as a large mass at one end, a small mass and vacuole 

 at other. 



In the above list, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 13, 14 and perhaps 4 are 

 evidently male gametocytes in an early stage. Vacuoles
