Embedded in the trans- verse muscle fibres of many Mammalia, , very frequently in the Pig, there occur small bodies, the so-called Rainey's or Miescher's corpuscles (Sarcocystis). They are cylin- di-ioal or spindle-shaped bodies, varying in length (up to several m/m.), each enclosed in a single musclefibre. Eachissurrounded by a coat, and consists of a protoplasmic mass containing a large number of small falciform young; the latter are arranged in groups, each suiTOunded by a thin j 2 brane. Rainey's sacs are now usually regarded as organisms allied to the Gregarines; the grotips of falciform young are considered to the spores of a Gregariue. If this comparison prove correct it would stUl be a peculiarity of these organisms that the formation of the spores and falci- form young begins very early, before the growth of the sac is complete (the falciform young occurring even in very small fornas), and goes on quite gradually, so that fresh portions of protoplasm are constantly formuig spores and falciform yoiuig.
