In the viscera it isoftenest seen in the spleen, bone-marrow, brain, and liver,especially in the endothelial cells, but in the spleen and bone-marrow it exists also outside the vessels and either betweenor within the cells proper to these tissues. The distribution of the parasites varies according to thetype of the attack; it has been shown that the latter dependslargely upon the localizations of the parasites. They are usu-ally abundant in the splenic blood irrespective of the formassumed by the attack. It occasionally happens that deathsupervenes, notwithstanding a progressive diminution of the 174 PLATE VI 9 - |. Fig. i. FiV. 2. lew w^
