His urine contained a large quantity of albumen ; he had œdema of the face. He had no rise of temperature on his admission. He was
given purgatives, Pulv. jalap co. His stools were examined and the Shiga bacillus recovered on two occasions. Tins observation
is important from the point of view of the prevention of the disease, as the patient had no symptoms of dysentery acute or chronic.
Table II.
Showing various sources at Bombay from which Amœbæ were cultivated.
NOTE.—In this table are recorded the results of the examination of material for amœbæ. The material was varied and obtained
from different sources. It will be observed that the distribution of the amœba, apart from dysentery and liver abscess, is wide. It was
recovered from saliva, from pus removed from a hip joint abscess, and a lumbar abscess. ( Vide page 13 of this Report for a discussion
of the results.)

stools, and the record of the body weight of the animals throughout the observations. As monkeys have been employed for feeding experi-
ments with amœbæ it was extremely important to determine whether or not amœbæ were present normally in their stools. ( Vide pages 27

Description of Plates .
The figures in Plates I and II were drawn with a large Zeiss Camera Lucida apparatus, tube
of microscope being extended to 160 m.m. Ocular. No. 6. compensating Objective, Zeiss
2 m.m. Apoch. Aperture 1.30. For description see page 13.
Plate I.
Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4.—A culture of amœbæ from the stool of a case (No. 167) of dysentery.
Stained by iron hæmatoxylin method. They show adult amœbæ and contained " merozoits "
also buds which have separated to become young amœbæ. The culture was 24 hours' growth.
Fig. 5.—A culture of amœbæ from the pus of an abscess of the liver, case No. 284. Stained
by iron hæmatoxylin. method. It shows equaldivision of nucleus. The culture was three days'
growth.
Figs. 6 and 7 .—A culture of amœbæ from the pus or an abscess of the liver, case No. 105.
They show the nucleus of the amœbæ with a ring of chromatine, and the cytoplasm contains
" merozoits ". Fig. 7 shows the differentiation of the cytoplasm into a clear ectoplasm and
granular endoplasm.. The culture was eight days' growth.
Figs. 8, 9, and 10 .—The culture is the same as in figs. 6 and 7. Unstained. They show
clearly vacuoles of various sizes.
Figs. 11 and 12 .—The culture is the same as in figs. 6 and 7. Stained by iron
hæmatoxylin. They show division by budding in amœbæ from liver pus.
Figs. 13, 14 and 15.—The culture is the same as in figs. 6 and 7. Unstained. They show
the stage of encystment of amœbæ from liver pus. The various shapes of cysts met with,
polygonal and circular, are illustrated.
Figs. 16, 17 and 18 .—The culture is the same as in figs. 6 and 7. Stained by iron
hæmatoxylin. They show various forms of amœbæ met with in liver pus.
Fig. 19.—A culture from a case of dysentery, No. 117. Unstained. It shows the amœbic
cysts from a stool of a case of dysentery. The culture was three days' growth.
Fig. 20. —A culture from liver pus of case No. 193. Stained by iron hæmatoxylin. It
shows a rapidly growing culture of amœbæ. The amœbæ are reproducing both by budding
and equal division. The culture was four days' growth.
Fig. 21 .—The culture is the same as fig. 20. It shows a number of young amœbæ. The
young forms favour premature budding.
Plate II.
Fig. 22 .—A culture from a stool of a dysentery case No. 203. Stained by Borrel's method.
It shows two encysted forms containing many chromatine granules, and two amœbæ which have
just escaped from the cyst, the cytoplasm being rich in chromatine and ready to bud rapidly.
Figs. 23 and 24.—A culture from a stool of dysentery, case No. 196. Stained by
hæmatoxylin. It shows the occurrence of reproduction by equal division and by budding in the same
amœba. Culture was two days' growth.
Fig. 25. —A culture from liver pus of case No. 284. Unstained. Shows various forms and
shapes of amœbæ, an ordinary adult amœba, several irregular shaped and encysted forms,
The culture was three days' growth.
Fig. 26.—The same culture as fig. 25. Stained by iron hæmatoxylin. It shows division
forms from a culture of liver pus.
