THE HAEMOCYTOZOA— Continued 
The haemocytozoa, or endoglobular haematozoa, 
are divided by Laveran into three genera :* 
i. Genus Haemamoeha. 2. Genus Haemo- 
gregarina. 3. Genus Piroplasma. 
Genus Haemamoeba 
Endoglobular parasites, generally pigmented with 
two generations, an asexual of multiplication and a 
sexual of reproduction. 
The genus Haemamoeba includes the malaria 
parasites with which we have already fully dealt. 
Haemamoebae in Mammals 
1. H. pitheci. —In the ourang-utan the young- 
forms resemble malignant tertian. The gametes in 
form and in their pigment resemble quartan, while 
schizogony forms resemble those of simple tertian. 
The red cells are stippled. It is not transmissible 
to other apes. 
2. H. inui. —In monkeys, Macacus cynomolgus and 
M. nemestrinus; resembles the former parasite but the 
pigment is very abundant and light yellow in colour. 
The red cell is not stippled. Segmenting forms with 
twelve to sixteen merozoits. 
* In the imperfect state of our present knowledge this classification is for the 
present retained.
