Eimeria n. sp. in Man 
pointed at both ends; length 20-25 p, width in middle 7-8 p. Oocystic residue 
small, granular. Sporocystic residues in the form of one or two small retractile 
. spheres. No “crystalline bodies”—like those of E. oxyspora ~\isible at the 
posterior ends of the sporozoites. 
Habitat: intestine (?) of man. 
As yet found in one case only, at Medan (Sumatra). 
The structural characters given above serve to distinguish this species 
readily from the two other species of Eimeria previously described from 
human stools— E. weuyoui and E . oxyspora 1 .
