The diagnosis of a ring from a vacuole is not difficult if the latter is carefully focussed,when it will be found impossible to get a sharp outline as in the parasite, the outhne on the contrary ' opens out.' Crenated corpuscles are very frequently taken to be parasites. The crenations focus alternately as dark and bright points, and they have no clear ring Fig. 3B. I. Thin portion of film. 2.

Isolated platelets in the plasma or lying on a corpuscle appear as little granular masses, but again they have not the opaque white look of parasites nor the definite ring form, nor are they amoeboid. Here, as in the stained specimen, the definiteness of the body should prevent mistakes being Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Stephens, John William Watson, 1865-; Christophers, S.
