five cases plasmodia in the blood of the patients while alive. The 
plasmodia, which exhibited lively amoeboid movements, were from 1-2 fj. 
in diameter, and were observed both in the red corpuscles and free 
in the plasma. All phases such as are present in malaria were seen. 
Amoeboid forms of all sizes up to completely filling the red corpuscles 
and the sporulation stage were alike present. The oval bodies of the 
sporulation stage exhibited lively movements and penetrated directly 
into the red corpuscles. The authors are inclined to the view that 
bilious typhoid must be considered a form of malaria. 
Chromatophilous Bodies in Cancer-cells.* — Sig. Morpurgo has not

These bodies are very small, and are found in connection with the 
karyokinetic changes of the nucleus; they probably consist of free 
chromatophilous substances.
