Cocciclia parasitic in man 
permanent record, was therefore thought not so suitable for reproduction here 
as a carefully executed drawing. 
I can add nothing regarding the pathogenicity of E. oxyspora. The patient 
in whose faeces the parasites were found has a very heavy infection with 
Entamoeba histolytica, and a small infection with Anhylostoma. The Eimeria 
infection was so small that, even if it had caused any clinical symptoms, it 
would hardly have been possible to distinguish these from the effects produced 
by the accompanying parasites. At present there is no indication that E. 
oxyspora is pathogenic; though since it is, like all other coccidia, a tissue- 
parasite, it is doubtless capable of doing damage to its human host. From 
analogy with other forms, one would expect that the habitat of the parasite 
is the epithelium of the small bowel; and therefore that the effects, if any, of 
its presence would be manifested as an enteritis. 
It is perhaps worthy of mention that, as in the case of Isospora, it is 
probable that the administration of emetine has no curative effect upon an 
infection with this organism: for the case infected had already received large 
quantities of emetine, both hypodermically and per os, before the parasites 
were found in his faeces.
