In a previous paper1 one of us has summarized what is known with regard to canine piroplasmosis, and presented the results of infection experiments carried on in Cambridge with infected ticks (adult Haemaphysalis leachi Andouin) imported from South Africa. In the present paper we propose to describe and figure the parasite as observed in stained preparations, and to state what is known regarding its biology. The supply of infected ticks having unfortunately been exhausted and our last attempt at the transmission of the disease by infected blood inoculation having failed, we are obliged, for the present, to postpone a detailed description of the living parasite.
