lated with the soiled blood of Surra horses, and on the day following inoculation, bandicoot serum was
subcutaneously injected, and the doses repeated at varying intervals of 24 to 72 hours. The serum was
collected from old and full-grown bandicoots, as it was recognised that during their life these animals
pass through repeated periods, during which several varieties of hæmatozoa are present in their circula-
tion. Consequently full-grown bandicoots with hæmatozoa were kept under observation until the
organisms had disappeared from their blood. They were then killed, and the blood collected, the serum
being allowed to separate. The following cases in the Rabbit and Guinea Pig are typical of the results
produced :—
Rabbit.—This animal was subcutaneously inoculated on the 23rd December 1894 with 0.6 c.c.
of blood containing very numerous hæmatozoa taken from the jugular vein of Horse No. CXXIII
The injections of bandicoot serum were commenced on the following day.

maximum temperature, 40.8°C., was registered during the second paroxysm, and the minimum 35.5°C.
during the same period. The case lasted twenty-four days after the first appearance of the Trypanosoma
in the blood. This period was made up of two paroxysms lasting 12 and 11 days respectively, and one
intermission lasting one day. Death took place in the night of the 27th and 28th of November.
Autopsy at 10-30 A.M., 28th November 1897. Body-weight 8.7 kilos, total loss equals to 2 kilo-
grams. Body much emaciated. Some subcutaneous gelatinous deposits around the superior maxillary
region, giving a peculiar expression to the face of the animal. On section tissues of the body stained a
yellowish orange colour. Thorax.—No fluid, no adhesions of pleuræ. Lungs collapsed, localized
emphysema along the free edges of both organs. On section blood exudes from the cut surfaces and
on pressure, small quantity of frothy mucus exudes. Lungs and trachea weigh 205 grammes.
Pericardium contains a small quantity of a transparent, somewhat reddish coloured, fluid. Heart
weighs 60 grammes. Externally the organ presents a petechiated condition of the right and left
auricles, ventricles free. On section aorta and great vessels stained a bright gamboge colour. Right
Auricle sub-endocardial petechiæ. Right Ventricle pale, contains few firm jelly-like clots, brownish
in colour, resembling material frequently found round the base of the heart in Surra Horses post
mortem. Left Auricle few sub-endocardial petechiæ. Left Ventricle, pale and containing clots as
in right ventricle. Abdominal Cavity, no fluid. Liver weighs 555 grammes, large, streaked, dark red
and yellow, looks fatty. On section contains much fluid blood; microscopical examination,
fatty change. Stomach.—Mucous membrane pale but healthy. Spleen weighs 116 grammes, much
enlarged, concave surface petechiated ; on section tissues dark in colour, but fairly firm in consistency.
Kidneys. Right weighs 47, Left 45 grammes. Capsules strip easily. Cortex pale. On section
tissues pale. Bladder healthy. Intestines ditto.
