This is not in accordance with the result of the examination of smears from normal kidneys of cattle carried out by the writer for the purpose of ascertaining whether the bodies referred to by Koch were present in normal kidney and spleen smears of cattle. A number of each were examined; in all cases the results were negative. On the contrary the examination of a considerable number of smears of spleens of East Coast fever cattle sent in from different districts of the Transvaal always gave positive results. The writer has observed during the course of a microscopical examination of a number of normal smears from cattle minute reddish coloured granular bodies which are found scattered throughout the smear in some cases; in other, arranged in groups. In some instances they appear to be contained within a cell wall, in which case they resemble somewhat the appearance presented by blood plates in normal blood. They differ from Koch's granules in size and also staining reaction. The constant presence of Koch's granules in the lymphatic glands, in the kidneys and spleen of animals affected with East Coast fever affords a means of basing a diagnosis in those cases, in which, as already pointed out, a microscopical examination does not permit of this. The presence of these granules in the lymphatic glands, kidneys, and spleen is specific for East Coast fever.
