Remarks.—In the table showing the mean number of corpuscles during the massed
periods, it will be observed that the number of red corpuscles gradually fell during each
period, until in the intermissions there was a loss of 14 % compared with health.
The greatest loss suffered by the white during the paroxysm, was equal to nearly 59 %.
There was a slight attempt to recuperate during the intermissions, but as the ratio of the
relative periods, intermissions to paroxysms is 1 : 5.33, the time was too limited.
The coarsely granular cells were rapidly reduced in numbers, even during the latent
period, but during the presence of the hæmatozoon they fell nearly 77 %, but gained 29%
during the intermissions. They were absent during the fifth intermission, and also at the
time of death.
