MARSHALL, M.B., C.M., AND GEORGE THIN, M.D. Received November 5th, 1895—Read February 11th, 1896 Laveran's discovery of the hasmatozoon of malarial fevers has suggested many important problems in connec¬ tion with the pathology of paludism, amongst which perhaps the most urgent is the question of the existence and distribution of varieties or species of the parasites which are associated with corresponding forms of malarial infections. Of these types, two have been studied and described by Golgi, who has shown that quartan and tertian agues owe their differences to distinctive varieties of the parasite, the parasite of quartan fever requiring three days, and that of the tertian fever two days, for its development. Although Golgi's discoveries have not yet received universal recognition, they have been accepted by the great majority of those who have
