leucocytozoon. 
In films of fresh blood taken from an apparently healthy native 
puppy in the Gambia free gregarine-like forms were seen which 
moved slowly in much the same way as do free drepanidia. Intra- 
corpuscular forms were not seen ; the stained slides have been 
mislaid 
From this observation it seems probable that parasites resembling 
the haemogregarines described in Indian dogst may also occur in the 
Gambia.
