Parasite of East Coast Fever 
cases the parasites seemed to grow slightly in size during the period of 
observation. When infected corpuscles lost their haemoglobin the 
parasites were distinctly seen for a time, after which they degenerated 
and died. The escape of parasites from infected corpuscles was 
witnessed on six occasions; it was accomplished without injury to the 
corpuscle. On two occasions the escaped parasites appeared to re-enter 
fresh corpuscles. 
Our studies on T. pcirva in stained films will shortly follow.
