Extract

This paper contains a report on a collection of parasitic protozoa from the blood of some vertebrate animals of Uganda.

Seven new species and a number of parasites recorded for new hosts are described. New observations on some known parasites are also recorded.

An account is given of the life history of the crocodile haemogregarine. It is shown that the schizogony of Hepatozoon pettiti (nomen novum for Haemogregarina pettiti) occurs in the liver of the crocodile, while the sporogony takes place in Glossina palpalis, its intermediate host.

A list of all the blood parasites found, together with their hosts, is given.
