I propose to enterthe parasite of the cells of the frogs blood and spleen upon thelist of recognised organisms as Brepanidium ranaruyn. Dr. Gaule has added two interesting facts to those which Iwas able to furnish in 1871, relative to Brepanidinm. Themore important is that not only is Brepanidium to be foundattached to the red blood-corpuscle as I had figured it, butthat it occurs also loitldn the substance of the corpuscle.
