These two Guinea-pigs were each inoculated subcutaneously with 1 c.c. of fluid taken from
the pericardial sac of a horse thirteen hours after death.
The period which elapsed between the inoculation and the first appearance of the hæma-
tozoon in the blood, was ten days, in each case respectively.
The organisms in the two animals continued to be present in the blood with very few
exceptions until the time of death which took place in No. I after 49, and in No. II. after
47 days.
