Anaplasma-like Bodies 
The blood of each of these wombats shows the presence of the 
bodies as described above, both intra- and extra-corpusculai’, single 
and double forms, varying in size. It should be observed that in no 
case was the number of anaplasms great, in fact, in two specimens they 
were only detected after considerable search. 
In none of the animals we have examined were any ecto-parasites 
detected. 
We desire to express our thanks to Mr D. Le Souef, Director of the 
Zoological Gardens, through whose courtesy we were enabled to make 
the examinations of animals belonging to the Gardens, and to Professor 
Baldwin Spencer, Director of the Museum, for the privilege of examining 
the Flinders Island wombats.
