Extract

1. A local population of Gammarus pulex, infected with Heliospora longissima and Rotundula gammari, was found to have an intracellular developmental stage.

2. Experimental infections of G. pulex were made with the two species of gregarines. In the case of R. gammari infections, large numbers of intracellular developmental stages were found.

3. The taxonomic relationship of the genera Cephaloidophora and Rotundula is discussed.

Thanks are due to Dr P. Tate for constant encouragement and guidance during the course of this work and for the many helpful suggestions in the preparation of the manuscript. Thanks are also due to Mr D. W. T. Crompton for kindly giving me the infected material. The work was completed during the tenure of a Royal Society and Nuffield Foundation Commonwealth Bursary.
