infected individuals amounted to about 9'/° of the total 

 number searched. The absence of haematozoa in the 

 marine fish examined is noteworthy. Neuman 1 has recently 

 published an important. paper in which lie gives an account 

 of the parasites found by him. He examined six hundred 

 and fourteen marine fish belonging to sixty species (p. 4-5), 

 haematozoa heing detected in one hundred and twenty 

 individuals in thirteen different species. He also searched 

 films from fourteen specimens of one species of fresh-water 

 fish witli negative results. The number of infected indi- 

 viduals (from marine and fresh-water species) was thus 

 one hundred and twenty out of a total of six hundred and 

 twenty-eight examined, the percentage being nearly twenty. 

 He found parasites in fish belonging to thirteen out of sixty- 

 one species under observation, the percentage being nearly 

 twenty-five. His results are thus very different to ours. 



The type slides of Trypanosoma anyuilUcola (from 

 Anauilla veinhurtUU) and T. Inuirrofti (from Copiiloijlnnis 

 tamdanus) have been deposited in the Australian Museum, 

 Sydney. 



Our thanks are especially due to Dr. T. L. Bancroft who 

 found these trypanosomes In Queensland fish and kindly 

 handed over the films to us for description ; to Mr. A. R. 

 MacOulloch of the Australian Museum, Sydney, who has 

 been good enough to identify our specimens for us : to the 

 Director, Dr. F. Tidswell ; and Dr. E. S. Stokes, for for- 

 warding material, and Mr. F. Kallmann for supplying us, 

 by permission of Mr. H. Dannevig, with a large Dumber of 

 films taken by him from fish captured off Queensland by the 

 Federal Trawler S.S. " Endeavour," and identified by Mr. 

 J. Douglas Ogilby.
